Computer help
I go on a search engine such as google or yahoo and type a subject, everytime I click on one of the links that comes up it diverts to something totally random. Any ideas?
I have done a malware search and a spyware search but it still happens

Have a look in your hosts file (C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) The only active setting should be 127.0.0.1 localhost I believe. You will see others with a # in front # 192.168.0.1 blah blah ignore these.
