| When I click on websites, totally different ones pop up.
The little box in the upper left-hand corner of the taskbar always flashes up, 'Redirecting'. Is this a virus? OK, geeks----laugh!

| Mine works just fine (knock on wood). Have you tried re-boot? Most of the times it corrects whatever my computer dreams up before I yell for help. Not much of a help, am I. |

| KJ, run your anti virus and spy ware programs, may take some time. They should catch and remove the culprit. Sounds like a hi jacking program from an email or website. They redirect you to sites the have adds that get them money or collect your information. |

| Also clear your cookies. |

| No KJ,it's not just you. I think a cookie monster is at work. I've been searching for an area rug on the net, and when I clicked on a post here at GP a big ole ad about rugs showed up right below a post. I have a cable service with Norton 24/7, but somehow my area rug search reached the GP. Sigh. |
