Re: Web Page Redirection

Hi Art :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, it sounds like
possible malware.

Be aware, your Anti-Virus won't detect all types of warez, Trojans, malware,
worms, etc and neither can other adware or spyware related programs such as
AdAware and SpyBot. They don't have the proper definitions. So even if you
run it and nothing shows up, it does not mean your system is clean. It
takes a series of programs to fully clean your machine. Some very aggressive
and damaging variants of malware can replicate themselves repeatedly, or
mutate, if not removed properly. Follow the steps here:

Then visit these two sites to test for parasites and help basic cleaning:

and

When I click on a link in Yahoo! or on any web page I get redirected 3 or
4
times before I get to where I want to go. I always have to go back to the
original page and click the link again and again until I get to the web
page
I want. Does anyone know the reason for this? I've run Mcafee and a anti
spyware utility but still can't find out the reason.
Thanks
