After contracting many virus i have finally downloaded firefox and it works great. But now i have another problem searching for things with different search engines, such as yahoo and goggle. When i type in whatever I'm looking for, it will list out the websites, but when i click on a website i want it always redirects me to another website or at worst a blank page. I have to type in the website in the navagation bar. I can't even Is there a setting that firefox has that makes this happen? How can i be able to use my search engines again? Please help!
It seems you have a malware that hijacked your serch engines. Here's a copy from someone's recommendation(I followed the instructions myself after getting some spyware that made my browser act same as in your case);it fixed my proble: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
