Yahoo search help?

Question

i go to the main page on yahoo and seach something i push search and it takes me to the next page with all everything yahoo has found. The bad thing is i click on one of the links and it takes me to other search engines not to the actual link.

example. i search "20 in tv" yahoo finds sites number 1. 20 in tv at "shopping.com" when i click on the link it does not take me to shopping.com ...but some other site

such as

http://www.findstuff.com/search.php?query=tv&source=eh&adgroupid=new10keh

why is this ?...virus?

Answer 1

Sounds like you got spyware.  Some spyware hijacks your search results so it can show you paid ads.
