My browser has recently started redirecting all 404 errors onto searchtons.com. I'm just finding it a tad irritating because I can't simply click back anymore, so does anyone know how to change this back to normal? I'm using firefox but the same thing happens in IE so I guess it's not a browser issue.
browser redirects 404 errors
Its probably some sort of ad/spyware. You can try to remove it using a spyware removal tool like on of these:
AVG Anti-Spyware
Spybot S&D
Spyware Doctor

did a scan with spybot and adaware, got cookies and a data miner, but nothing on the 404 hijack.
Hmm, is your computer directly connected to the internet? Or via some other computer/gateway/proxyserver?
It's connected to the guy in the flat above ours, through a LAN.
