Question:

Why is results.yahoo.com diverting to advertisement sites?

When I search with Yahoo!, I get the correct results. But when I click one of the results, the page jumps to RESULTS.YAHOO.COM (which I'm assuming Yahoo! uses to log statistics) then the page you're supposedly going to.

If I type in "Microsoft", the first website link it should show me is to Microsoft.com. I click it, it goes to results.yahoo.com, then links me to an advertisment site. I'd have to press the BACK button on my browser and click it again, and it would link me back to the correct site.

What's wrong? Did Yahoo! get hijacked by backdoor people?

And please, don't tell me I have a virus. I'm an IT professional, and this happens to all 5 of my computers, including my MacBook Pro with Leopard (Windows virus? Psh.).

  1. it is because of the sponsored sites of yahoo


  2. Yahoo has been experiencing all types of problems during the past weeks. Even yahoo mails have disappeared in inboxes without any apparent reason. Let's just cross our fingers and hope yahoo resolves all their system issues before things really got out of hand.^^,
