HadIt.com Elder evandc Posted April 18, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have Yahoo as my opening page. I do searches there & sometime other places. Now when I search, the results come up as normal. But then when I select one of the items, my computer jumps to another screen. Sometime MonsterMarketplace or Info.com. It's driving me crazy & that's a short trip for me. What do I do? Thanks, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Don Hello Don, I recommend switching to Firefox rather than MicroSoft Internet Explorer. I've been using it for about eight years and prefer it over MS IE. In addition to being a better browser, there are far less viruses developed for it since it is not a package with most computers. The site for a free copy is: Free Firefox I also recommend, as have others, to use Google. It is much more efficient. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokey60 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Don, It does sound like your browser has been hijack. If you can search the internet for a site called "HiJackThis" These people have excellent tools to help you remove malware and spyware. You do have to know a little something about computers though. Also, another hint. If you are running IE7--After you remove your malware/spyware IE7 will need to be reset (I think that's what Microsoft calls it)anyway, if you go to Microsoft's website they will explain how to do this. It's a very simple process. Good luck. Teresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use spybot search and destroy to get rid of any kind of spyware. http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...4-10122137.html I recommend this program as it is free and works well.
