But if he types
www.ad4x4.com and gets
www.themotortown.com, this means that there is something wrong with the dns, isnt it ?

Moe, clearing the cookies didnt help, and as sufer mentioned this what is the problem, I enter
www.ad4x4.com and the get
www.motortown .com---------what is DNS?

OK, in a nutshell DNS stands for Domain Name Server, this the server responsible for resolving or translating the names entered to IP addresses.... I dont want to be so technical and guess this much is enough as a start.

I think you lost him at "resolving".
Halwa might also be infected with a worm or some adware.
www.avast.com for a free antivirus that actually works better than any other.
www.lavasoftusa.com and download ad-aware. to take care of the adware. Its free.
happy hunting Halwa.
