why is it when I do a search, my browser "redirects" me somewhere else? for example, I'll search for info on weight loss diets, yahoo will show several results, I'll click on one of them, my browser will start to take me there, then I'll hear a clicking sound, and all of a sudden I'm at a website trying to sell me vitamins. I'll use my back button, try again, and then it takes me to a website trying to sell me something else.
What causes this? Please don't tell me its cookies, because I always start my internet sessions with a clean slate. And its not spyware cause I use spybot and windows defender and they show nothing.
Is this just the nature of the internet now?
