Weird, i'm getting the same too, click on a legit website and it redirects me a good few times I have to keep clicking back and trying again before it'll load up the right one.

And not just porn sites either, anything.

if you do complete fresh install of XP then connect to internet beware as it has some huge gaps in defenses that need service pack 3 installed to protect you against.

i would download the service pack 3 update and install straight after fresh copy of XP has been installed also make sure u have firewall/anti virus software installed before you finially connect it to the net, updated its secure but from release it had more holes than a tea bag
