Yahoo search redircting to other web search sites?

Question

Well here we go again i have had poor luck getting answers,but what the heck.When i start search from yahoo search i am getting redricted to other sites that are advertising cars or s*x things. sometimes a web search called biznet takes over and runs in endless circle.When i click back i get page saying internet explorer cannot display page,when i hit refresh it usually just stalls.I have updated all windows w/xp2 latest updates.I have the new version explorer-7.help This problem just started about one mo. ago before that everything worked great. Also i have ran full scan w/trend micro house call and superantispyware.

This is mostly likely due to malicious adware that managed to install itself on your PC. These can be very difficult to remove, but I have found that AdAware from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.... is very good at finding and removing adware and spyware. You may also find that the Firefox browser (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) is more resistant to adware and spyware than Internet Explorer. Good luck!
