Computer Security & Viruses/not going to the website that i clicked on!?!
Expert: Doug Woodall - 4/9/2007
QuestionWhen 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/

You will have to register and then dnload Hijack This. Run the prog and upload the files to the forum.
Just out of curiousity, what AntiVirus are you using?
