hi,

woke up this morning to find IE7 acting strange.

when i goolge search and then clikc on a search item it takes me to random advertising sites! its doing my head in!

i'm running antivir atm to try and get rid.

does anyone know i way to get rid of or at least find where the infection is liekly to be?

thanks in advance,

Josh

watching the disply bar at the bottom, it initially searches for the right site then humps to an IP site with click or jump in the address.

when i search for the problem and it finds forums with the site i click them and it redirects me stopping me from fixing the problem! grr

screen shot may help, also download spybot s&d, update it, run it, use the immunize

thanks for your help!

system restore sometimes is a temp solution.
