View Full Version : Serious computer prob
Just started today, when I log onto Internet explorer. Any link, from any site I click, re directs me to another meaningless search engine website. The same one every time. Example
I log on here, and click on a thread. Instead, I am redirected to the website said above. This happens no matter what website I'm on, no matter what link I click. Frustrating. I've already ran a virus scan that came up negative. System restatt didn't work either. Anyone know what the deal is?

You might try downloading the newest, latest version of IE. Maybe the update will correct whatever is causing your issues.

Sounds like a virus to me. What OS are you on? If you can, install and run this:

If still no luck, email me, I might have 'another' solution

Chrome. I have FF and IE for sites that don't play well with Chrome, but I use chrome about 99% of the time.
