Help! Internet Issues!!!

Hello guys,


Thanks for the wonderful work here.
I have few issues which i need help on. I believe the problem lies on the settings of the internet options on my PC.

1) Unlike before, i have to enter my username and password while browsing MSE despite the fact that Internet explorer did save my log-ins

2) If i click a link, say for example on civil service website, i mean something like a word document, it will first take me to cgi file and so on.

3) Sometimes when i click a web link, it is all these adverts that will come up.

Cheers
Kay

    You mean you're redirected away from the page you chose?


    Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:

    Link

    After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:
    • Double click DDS to run it.
    • When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
    Save both reports to your desktop.

    Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)
  • Use Chrome instead - Much less problematic and faster.
