get rid of a248.e.akamai.net browser attack

symptom: when you try to go to a webpage, the browser warns you of a redirect by "a248.e.akamai.net".

How to fix this a248.e.akamai.net:
1) Follow instruction above by Hybrid24. This works a attested by GK Mandigo.
On a side note, I did not specifically power cycled or restarted or refreshed my router since it is quite far from our room. What I did was:
Access your router set up(192.168.x.x) and disconnect & reconnect your internet connection on the internet connection status subpage.
My router is Cisco v3.0.0.02
Our internet connection type is PPPoE.
1. Open your router set-up. for cisco linksys, this could be accessed through 192.168.1.1 or through network magic(i don’t know how though).
2. Go to STATUS PAGE.
3. On the Internet connection details portion, there is a “Login Status” indicating that you are connected and on the side, there is a “disconnect” button. Press the button and when the numbers are set to “0″, Press the “Connect” button.
4. Try facebook again. This should fix your problem without the added hassle of moving around.

I hope this helps anyone.

unable to create new library (windows 7)

symptom: when click on the "New library" button on the top of the folder, nothing happens.
also when right click on "Library" on the side bar and mouse over to "New", it says "empty" instead of "New library".

the cause is the missing of the registry code.
