For example, my search for "cornflakes" on ebay just now rapidly came back with 45 results?!?

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at search.ebay.co.uk.
* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

This way you would see whether your PC is talking to the expected DNS servers, and if you are getting missing replies.

So you built your own computer but it has never worked properly, at least insofar as loading some web pages?
Quote from: HaydnExport ...I never get redirected , just fails to load...
If the virus is working well then you would never know whether or not you were being redirected. The virus substitutes its own DNS server but this doesn't necessarily work so well, so it may be unable to resolve some URLs. Of course, its main function is to misdirect you by resolving some key URLs to the wrong IP addresses.
Just to give an example, suppose you want to go to www.myonlinebank.co.uk . A proper DNS server looks up the IP address of www.myonlinebank.co.uk to be 1.2.3.4 then your web browser takes you there. The virus-changed DNS server resolves www.myonlinebank.co.uk to be IP address 999.999.999.999 , which is a fake copy of your banks web site erected by criminals. You enter your credentials on the fake web site and they get stolen. You won't know you have been misdirected unless you happen to know the true IP address and check the actual IP address of the web page you have arrived at.
You need to take your computer somewhere else and establish that it works properly to prove that you have an internet problem rather than a computer problem.
