Default My browser (IE) going to other sites.


Dear friends,

While browsing my IE is going to other sites which I didn't type. Some ad sites. Will somebody tell me how to get rid of this?

Regards

Lukose

(i) it may a virus issue. please scan your pc with updated antivirus software.

(ii) IE - Tools menu -internet options-contents-Select Autocomplete - In that clear all the forms & passwords. moreover clear the history files, temp, cookies.

Hi lukose_m,
that you need is to install a blocker to your browser for the ads.
A good add-on for Internet Explorer is IE7pro 2.2.0.1 and you can find it here:
IE7Pro - The Ultimate Add-On for Internet Explorer
Also it have a lot of features and tweaks to make your IE friendlier, more useful, secure and customizable.

actually it appears to me that you have been hi-jacked. Run all your anti virus/malware/spyware programs to clean out the culprit... if it is still bothering you try the free scanner at
