Everytime I search for something on yahoo and click on the link it redirects to something else. How do I fix?

Question

Recently someone in my family added something to the computer (or downloaded something) now everytime I search for something (for example The zoo) and I get a website (ex: www.thezoo.com) and I click on that link, it NEVER goes to that site and goes to either a s*x site or something else. What is wrong?

Answer 1

Its a glitch. Try a restart on the pc. If that doesn't work call yahoo. It has been the subject of a lot of questions lately.

Answer 2

That's almost certainly a virus or spyware, and is not Yahoo!'s fault.. You want to download and install Ad-Aware, make sure your virus scanner is working, and get away from Internet Explorer and onto Firefox, if possible.
