Internet Explorer help

RanddRandd Member Posts: 409
Hi all, been looking around for info and/or help with a problem i'm having with internet explorere. Havent found the info i'm looking for though.

In my favorite places when i click certain links it goes to completely different sites(not sites i have bookmarked or have ever visited)
The links are correct in properties, and if i manually type them in it still goes to these sites i've never been to before. For instance if i click or type in www.fileplanet.com i end up at a gambling website. Or if i tried utube i end up at a teen @nal website, rather embaressing when i tried to show my young niece a vid from utube .

I even tried upgrading to the new IE beta, I installed it but it does the same thing. Ran several spyware and virus scans, still no good.

Btw firefox runs correctly but i still like to use both browsers.

If anyone has any info or tips it would be greatly appreciated.

    If the sites work fine in Firefox, but lead to gambling sites in IE, then it sounds like spyware/virusware to me.

    Would suggest trying Adaware, or Avast (free for home use, and a very good piece o' kit).

    I'll try Avast, when i try adaware and go to udate the definitions it opens up a generic search page. Thanks for the advice, hope this works.
