    Sounds like your browser may have been hijacked. Do you run anti-spyware programs? Anti-virus program? Firewall?

    If all of these are running and up to date, try running HijackThis:

    http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html

    and see if there are any programs running that shouldn't be.
  • thanks but i cant open that either am going to type in address see what happens

    What Intel says is spot on (hope it works) but the point of my post is a warning.

    If you do decided to use HijackThis (as mentioned by Wombat) you could indeed LOOK to see if there's anything you don't like but DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING using HJT otherwise you could easily end up completely trashing the operation of your PC. The use of HJT as a tool to "fix" somehting should ONLY EVER be done with help from folk who know how to use it properly.

    If you run HJT post the resulting Notepad log back to this thread and I'll have a look at it for you.
  • i ran a free scan of hijack this and it came back with 27 different items how do i post this to you??????

    Use "copy & paste" to put the Notepad log to this thread.
