Question
When I do a search on  yahoo and i click on one of the results instead of going to the website that i clicked on it will go to another website, usually a search portal or some website of that nature.  I have been messing around with my computer to figure out a way to block these websites and i do regular routine maintence on my computer.  i run Ccleaner, avg anti-virus, Spybot, and Ad-Aware.  I have never had a problem like this before.  The question is how do i get these websites to quit popping up??? A few of the websites that keep pooping up are :  couponmountain.com, www.toseeka.com, www.btcar.com, and http://searchportal.information.com/
