On my computer recently when I click on certain web sites or things or try to type in certain web sites in the address bar it will bring up a dell web page instead and wont let me go to that wesite. Like when I try to go to pcmag.com it wont let me, it bringings up the dell site. This just started and it is very frustrating. I contacted tech support and they said nothing to be concerned about but I dont believe that. This shouldnt be happening. I have an panda antivirus installed on pc., so I have protection. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how to fix it? help would be appreciated. thanks all.

Do a complete scan of your computer with Panda. If there are any problems with browser hijackers (sorry about the technical stuff!) that should fix it.
Good Luck!

there is a thing called a hosts file... its possible that it was edited somehow. off the top of my head... i wanna say its located in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc open it with notepad and clear everything in the list of stuff other than the localhost entry

You have got some spyware or trojans. Run your antivirius.
