Keep getting re-directd to unwanted websites

Please help, I keep getting directed to unwanted websites.

http://jump-to-domain.com/search

The above is the main one, I can be searching any subject, click on a searched link and it will take me to the above. Do I have a virus, can I block this site and if so how?

Please help, also, may not b related but when typing on the internet, letters keep getting missed out at random?:mad:
I am only trying to help :rolleyes:

    Thats a possible keylogger

    Whatever you do, dont put any personal information on the computer ~ so online banking is out for example


    Download HostsXpert
    http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Hoster-Download-27041.html
    and then follow the below steps.
    * Unzip HostsXpert.zip
    * It will create a folder named HostsXpert in whatever folder you extract it to.
    * Run HostsXpert.exe by double clicking on it.
    * click the Make Writeable? button.
    * click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
    * Click the X to exit the program

    Thats correct
    Softpedia is the site name, mirror simply means theyve taken that file and put in a place that people can download it from, and US means united states (English in other words)
