How Do I Stop 'Tucows' On My Computer

stressedoutmum · 22 July 2008 at 9:28PM

When I do a search on the internet and find the site I want as soon as I click on it I get another website called Tucows. It tells me the site I have chosen has a domain problem and to search for it through them. I have checked my start up programmes and also run spybot but Im still getting it. I dont know where to look for it or how to delete it. Can someone help and explain it really simply cos Im not good with the techie stuff. thanks.

Is this happening on multiple sites? Are you trying to download anything?

What website are you trying to access?

Hiya. Virtually every website I am trying - all the holiday ones - first choice, thompsons etc. I enter what Im looking for in the search bar and all the websites come up. As soon as I click on the first website of what Im looking for the Tucows website comes up. I then delete that and click on the site I want and then I get it but I always get Tucows first and Ive never used the site (or heard of it) until yesterday. I use google search and have windows 98. thanks.

Can anyone help with this its driving me mad. When I search for something on google and click on the site I want - it doesnt matter which one - even this one I am automatically sent to Tucows Domain Help Center and can't get the website I want. I dont know how to get rid. Any ideas please

No idea but tucows.com is a fairly well known site offering software downloads. As far as I know it is not a suspicious site.

Does it happen when you type an address in, or just when you click a link after doing a search?

stressedoutmum · 25 July 2008 at 6:38PM

When I click after doing a search but sometimes it can take me at least 10 attempts before I can actually get into the website I want without the Tucows keep coming up. thanks.

So it doesn't happen when you type an address in?

stressedoutmum · 27 July 2008 at 5:43PM

No it doesnt do it (well at least not yet) when I type the full address in -

Are you on IE, Firefox, Opera or some other browser?
