Hi, I tried to install a package using the menu option and was presented a list filled with NA's. I then tried visiting the R site and each option on the side bar (eg. CRAN, Search,FAQ) sends me to the address attached below (NB: I left off the h in http). The first problem seems to be related to the second. Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour and how do I restore normal behaviour? Regards Alex Problem 1

[pd at titmouse ~]$ host search.domainsponsor.com search.domainsponsor.com has address 64.235.246.141 Looks like foul play (domainname hijacking, or some sort of spyware on your machine). Things look normal from here.
