When I do a search using Yahoo in IE, the links are redirected to other sites.?

Question

The links keep getting redirected to other sites like ebay, autoexpress, etc. and all with a referrer of Looksmart. I tried to clear my cookies, and run anti-spyware progs like SPYBOT, Trend Micro Anti-Spyware, Ad-aware, XoftSpy, AVG, Norton Anti-virus, and CCleaner. All of which have come up with nothing. Any other suggestions other than don't use yahoo search?

Answer 1

The sites have moved locations.

Answer 2

Open regedit.exe, c:\windows\regedit.exe & in the Edit tab open Find & type Looksmart in the Find What box. Then click Find Next. It'll search  for a registry entry with Looksmart in it. Be careful & make sure this is the Looksmart you're looking for. Click Find Next if an entry is found instead of retyping Looksmart. If you don't know how to edit the registry don't. You could mess up your PC. But somewhere there should be a listing if Looksmart's in your PC. They can hide it also, so you may need another name.

Answer 3

maybe you should try PC CLEAN.
