Everytime that I want to check my Hi5 friends web sites, automatically a disgusting porn web site appeared. What can I do in order to stop this? Where can I report this?
Serious answers please.
Thank you.

Before you accuse a Co of having a site that passes you to P0rn, check your own PC for spåyware and malware.
I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)
Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.

You have a browser hijacker. One thing you should do is dump IE and get firefox (much more secure)
To solve your immediate issue is relatively easy. Get yourself a copy of google's software pack (loads of links online or http://mybranding.info/googlepack.php if you are stuck) Then run the excellent (and completely free) Spyware Doctor.
Your problem is now solved.
Enjoy!

The above answer will help you, but SuperAntiSpyware is what I have used in the past to get rid of these rotten pop-ups.

Maybe you can send a message to the webmaster at Hi5. Maybe they can do something about it.
