I think I downloaded a virus or something. Now when I try to open some websites, like google for example, it instead goes to a different website: http://ehttp.cc/?www.blablabla.com. Any help getting rid of this thing?

Sounds like you hav spyware/adware. Run AdAware and SpyBot: Search & Destroy. Be sure to download the latest updates with each. Between the two of those programs, they can clean most spyware/adware from your computer.

Run Spybot too. If that doesn't work, read [webmasterworld.com...]

This is a perfect case of Spyware. As others have said, run Spybot and remove all the things you find it there.

Usually works, if it doesn't find anything, there maybe entries added in your hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) in that case, open notepad and open your hosts file, delete all the entries in there, except the localhost one.

It should work.
