Is this a virus or Yahoo?

Question

Please do these steps:

1.) Search for anything on the yahoo hompage

2.) Click on one of the links from the results

Does it take you directly to the link or does it take you to a few ads first (like it does to me)? It doesn't give me a popup, but it redirects my page to ads a few times for every search.

Answer 1

Probably spyware. Try downloading and running spybot along with doing a virus scan.

Answer 2

Sounds like you are being re-directed by some type of adware.  Do a virus scan, and spybot...Also, check with a adware scanner...If it is a re-director your virus scanner and spybot probably will not catch it.. You can download Ad-Aware SE from the "net" for free...Try ZDnet.com

Answer 3

Virus...
