      i assumed as much and was afraid of that. everything i searched had .net yet mine is .dev. how do i get rid of it? what have i accidentally dl'd and how do i find it?

      routerlogin.com is fine, too.

       

      One day people learn not to follow some search suggestions, and even less try to search whatever search engine for such information. The Scam Mafia is waiting for you all....

        right. i saw that option as well in my initial search. i simply do not recall typing .dev at any point. and now it pops up every few seconds. ift's maddening. im not very tech savvy and dont really know how to make it stop.
