My home router was down the other day. I tried to use chrome, and I got the following error message:

DNS Lookup for "www.searchpage.com" failed. The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found

What in the world is SearchPage.com, and why is my chrome going there?

I have Windows 7 with Microsoft Security Essentials for protection.

Yes Its a "popular" malware who usually comes with freeware programs:

  1. Uninstall it from Computer through Control Panel

  2. Check for unwanted installed plugins

  3. Restore the original search engines of your browser.

Plus, add a new line in your hosts file:

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add this line at the end:

127.0.0.1 www.searchpage.com

Looks like malware. I recommend you use a malware scanner to get rid of it. If problems persist, try factory resetting your router or contact your ISP.
