Help accessing misspelt pages etc

Wee_Fifer

Hi everyone,

not being very techie minded i thought i'd ask you all how to help.
I've been trying to check out various misspelling sites for ebay and either get a blank page opening, or it just sits and does nothing.
I've also noticed that if i google for anything that sometimes sites listed down the left hand side often come up with a cant connect page. The page its trying to access often starts with qksrv.net/. I've tried changing and switching pop up blocker off, not sure what to try next!

Anyone have any ideas??
