well, other than reformatting your PC or checking your hosts file, I'm not sure how to fix a DNS hijack...

yea, surfer education about spyware is one of the issues...

but imho, I think surfer education is a double edged sword... cuz a surfer tech savvy enough to keep his system totally clean is probably smart enough to get all his porn for free from rapidshare and the like

as an example I've got one site that gets a lot of hardened 'free porn' surfers from surfer boards... almost 50% of them are running Firefox -- another site I have gets pure SE traffic and over 90% of the surfers are running IE...
