my computer wont find sites when i type in address, for instance, when i type in the ebay address it brings up google search and i can find it from there, it was ok up to a few weeks ago until my home page was taken over by gopher search engine, would this have anything to do with it ? any help in getting my computer back to normal would be greatly appreciated.

How was it taken over? Did you remove it?

Try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore


Or else:
