Answer 2

I had the same issue, remember to clear your browser cache after making changes.

Answer 3

Are you by any chance using chrome? Because chrome is not good about this kind of stuff sometimes, try different browsers, if that duos not help..

Then you MUST have a .htaccess file somewhere in your www directory.

try searching for it. It is an unusual file, it duos not have name just an extension.

try searching like %.htaccess

if that duos not help go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc and open the file hosts as a admin so you can edit it and look up if some program inserted something inside.

Just remembered a situation i had earlier. Some .php files can have redirects in them. Check your index.php or main.php or index.phtml or some other extenson if they do a redirect, becouse it could be somone wrote a code to redirect the script.

see this example to understand it bether: WWW to non-WWW Redirect with PHP
