I search something on the internet, and the words are huge and when i click on a link, it puts a tab and sends me to another website that wasn’t even close related. When this started happening, my internet got 200x’s slower also.
Can you help me and see whats wrong with this problem?
Haha

IE, Mozilla or w/e, and Opera.

Try scanning your computer for malware, viruses etc.
That is what it sounds like to me. Had the same problem once myself.

stop searching porn,
also Internet explorer is really unsecured,
you should look into Mozilla Firefox,
you can download it free from
and also when was the last time you deleted your cookies and temp files?

that’s a spyware, it does come out sometime when your computer infected by virus from some website…
the good way’s scan it with antivirus then restart your computer
if your internet still slow, check speedtest.net, they will show you how fast is your internet connection from your provider
if it show you more than thousand Kb/s(your connection have no problems)
use computer error fixer
or download
Opera or firefox as your browser
and i hope it will be back to normal

That sounds like adware.
If you have an anti-virus, make sure it has the latest virus definitions and run a scan with it in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. That often prevents malware from protecting itself. If you don’t have one, many people here swear by AVG (it’s free).
I suggest you also download Ad-Aware 2008 and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If any of the above (or any anti-malware, for that matter) doesn’t seem to be able to run properly or get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again in Safe Mode.
Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.
To get into Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking:
1.Log out and reboot your machine.
2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3.Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.
4.Login. If the malware has changed your password, try logging in as Administrator. By default, Administrator has no password.
5.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different.
6.When you’re finished doing what you need to do, log out and reboot back into normal mode.
Note that even if the anti-malware programs get rid of the malware, they may not be able to reverse the effects. Search the Web for possible fixes.
Update and run everything regularly, not just when you think you already have malware.
Good luck.

From your description it sounds like it’s time to break out the anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware programs. I hope you have current up to date programs for each.
Start by clearing your cache. Tools, Internet Options… Delete Cookies, Delete Files…
There are also free online scanners you can run, like
McAfee scan
Trend Micro HouseCall
And freeware, such as:
Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy, AVG Antivirus and Malwarebytes (free versions)
Hope and Pray you don’t have a Rootkit Trojan like the one my sister had over Thanksgiving. It took me two days to kill that little bas…. and I do this for a living.
Happy Scanning!
