Computer Security & Viruses/Search engine problems

Advertisement

Expert: - 6/12/2009


Question
I am having problems when I do a search on any search
engine.  Every time I do a search on yahoo or google I will
get my results fine but when i click on the link that i want
it never takes me directly to the site.  Instead it will
take me to an advertisement or just another site like
youtube or something.  Then if i go back to the search and
click it again it will work most of the time but its just
frustrating when it doesn't go directly to the site i want.  
I appreciate your help

Expertise

NB:I do not accept PRIVATE QUESTIONS I can answer most questions based on Windows XP PRO infections.From the most common troubling issues related to eradicating sticky Worm infection(those that tend to become invisible in a client's computer). This is a form of correcting client's PC malfunction from my PC via communication through the internet. The following is a list of problems I can eradicate remotely(via remote Assistance made possible by Windows Live Messenger); -Virus and Spyware removal, Trojans, Browser hijackers and the like. NB:YOU BETTER NOT ASK ME A SIMILAR QUESTON THAT YOU HAVE ASKED SEVERAL EXPERTS ON THE BOARD/FORUM FOR I WON'T BE PREPARED TO ANSWER. MANY APOLOGIES. Again... I prefer to strictly respond to IT Security Questions in this department. I will not respond to repetitive questions I will not respond to SPAM questions e.g. email account password resets etcetera.
