I thank you for your help. I know my browser sent it's cache because the
web site I went to informed me that my browser cache was dumping on them and
that I needed to empty it before I could go there. I wasn't downloading
anything at the time. I regularly have been clearing the cache the way you
described. I have installed spyware since hoping that would help just in
case it was some kind of redirection attempt or something.
