Hi, can you help please?!
When I type into Google a website address and click on search, it is then redirecting me to other sites , mainly another search engine, but the other day it brought up a really rude site with ladies in 'rather revealing positions' lets just say
. My daughters use the computer for their homework and am just releaved that this happened when I was using it.
I have done a full computer scan thru the AVG anti-virus that is installed on our computer and its coming up as clear and no threats. Can anyone shed any light on what might be happening please?
Thanks x
