[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1088708, member: 369937"] You may have a browser hijack going on, the only way I know of to remove it is to completely remove the browser, then do a registry clean, and remove all cookies, settings and other stuff for that browser, on some browers it will save your settings and bookmarks,(like firefox.old) unfortunately you will have to dump these also, you could save your bookmarks to a CSV file and look through it, then dump anything that looks suspicious. I use CCleaner for this task, then do a spyware sweep, malware sweep and an AV sweep, then re-install a fresh download of the browser. Here is some info on this.
