Whenever I go to minecraft.net it redirects to formspring, does this occur to anyone else? And whenever I try playing, it updates the game and it leaves an error message of
"Fatal Error Occurred (4): Unable to download xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html retrieving: minecraft.jar 82% @ 65.87Kb/sec"
Help, please?

I think someone hijacked me browser. Though it only affects minecraft.net, weird.
Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and paste the contents.
Alright, I've opened it up with notepad
[code]# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost[/code]
Try these, one at a time:
1. Open command prompt, type
[code]ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew[/code]
2. Check your DNS settings, if possible use google dns.
Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Adapter Settings > Right-click your connection > Properties > IPv4 > Properties and make it like so:

3. Your router might have been hijacked, try resetting it to factory settings (usually a button on the back of it).
Second step worked for me, much appreciated! Also, I've done a scan whilst this was happening and it showed 1 number of infiltration. I was scanning with a Nod32 Anti virus. Is it safe to assume that everything's alright?
