Search doesn't work... when I do a search, it redirects me to a shopping page, not the URL I requested.?

Question

Doing a simple search on Yahoo has become impossible. I enter a search, I see the exact web page I need, I click on it and instead of going to the web page, I am now looking at another search page listing shopping sites, etc... I have to go thru pages of more sites trying to locate the URL I requested. What is wrong? How do I stop this from occurring?

Answer 1

Does anyone know where I need to go to type in someones first/last name and get their yahoo email adress on here?

email me. thanks.

Answer 2

I would start by installing spybot S&D and AD aware.  scan and delete the ad/male ware you have on your computer.  Also you might want to make sure you Anti Virus definitions are up to date.

Answer 3

you have spyware and need to remove it, as this is what directing you else where

Answer 4

then the URL you are searching for does not exist... look for a real website... try alternate spellings...
