text: when i browse for any site i am directed to duetchland homepage of that site, however i am living in pakistan? when i browse for any site for e.g. dell.com, i am directed to duetchland homepage of dell. it happens to other sites also. please help me how  can i get rid of this situation. is my pc hacked or infected by virus or spyware. waiting for a perfect answer. it could be for two reasons:  1) some browsers have an option to set preferred languages, yours might be set to german (de_de)  2) some sites check ip ranges, and guess what country you are from. the service in question may be getting it wrong.  get your ip from http://www.ipchicken.com/ , then use a whois service to see where your ip block is registered.
