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:
