Why do I get redirected away from yahoo search results before I can go to the site I searched for?

17 Jan, 2010  Yahoo

When I search Yahoo it goes to the search result page. When I click on the result I want to see it redirects to a page like smartbiz search results. Sometimes it is a x rated search result page. Most of the time I never get to where I want to go. Ugh. Help.

    That happens because of cookies getting written to your computer. I highly recommend you switch to Firefox with its google toolbar. I noticed an appreciable difference in results that I want when I want using that setup.

    That symptom sounds like you got infected by some spyware or a BHO.

    You should do a scan with Avast av, Spybot S&D, AdAware or SUPERAntiSpyware.

    Here's a link to download a free version:
