ok, so if i search for something from yahoo, google, any search engine, i get my "leads" to sites, If i click on a link, to go to that site, i dont go there, no matter which on i click on, i wind up at a completley different site usually a search site like dogpile. etc. I was searching for puppy stuff, and i clicked on a link and found myself at jameson whiskey website ( i found that funny since my husband's name is jameson.. and we have a bottle of that whiskey in my licqour cupboard.) lol so whats going on? what is it? i ran a spyware scan nothing, virus scan nothing, and the adaware (from lavasoft) and nothing ? can you help me? if i shut down and restart it dont do it for a while, but usually after an hour of it being on it will do it

some viruses require special removal tools. try these.
◙ Sometimes you'll get a particularly nasty virus that cannot be removed with conventional tools. For times like these you can (quite often not always) download a removal tool for that specific virus. Below are some sites you should look at.

◙ Below is a tool called "Stinger" that Mcafee put together with all 54 of it's tools in it.

you are not the only one with this problem. i have seen it in here 4 or 5 times lately. no one came back and said how to fix it.
if the above tools don't help then stop using internet exploder and install mozilla firefox. then get the fasterfox extension to speed it up

Sounds like your browser has been hijacked. Despite what you found with your spyware check program, SOMETHING is redirecting your browser. You need to go to Control Panel and select Add/Remove programs. After it populates, check for any programs that could be adware/spyware.
Also, go to Tools > Internet Options and make sure your home page is set where you want it to go. If it's set elsewhere, it may be designed to take over and redirect your browser after you do a search.
A good spyware/adware cleaner is a must. I suggest Spy Hunter and SpyBot. Spy Hunter is about $30. SpyBot is free (at least the last time I checked); you can get it at http://www.cnet.com
Good luck.

If you are not specific when running a search you will find yourself getting all kinds of links - some not so nice.
Instead of puppy stuff, search for "Daschund sweaters" or "canine toys" or whatever.
For something like puppy stuff, you might want to go through a site known to be "clean" like www.amazon.com or www.bizrate.com.

Make sure you're using the left click
Also don't hit "delete" sometimes that brings you back a couple pages
Other than that, call a computer technician
