I have A VERY VERY annoying internet problem >_<....

I'm pretty sure I got it from one of the annoying megavideo videos....

Basically...the problem is this:

EVERY time I click on ANY link....ANY....it will send me to the same PLACE!
EDITED...just down to the name of the site:

"podmena-vidachi"
Somehow....all of my links became corrupt, and anything that click on sends me to that %^^&%^^ site....I tried deleting cookies and stuff like that....I tried re-starting my computer...nothing works....

Another note....The page loads (a few seconds) during that time the links work okay...but they then turn into that ^%%%^ link.....

(My old salvation was just using firefox...the problem I had was with the "E" internet....

Does anyone know how to fix it...or have even heard of how to fix it?

-thanks!

That sounds like a spyware issue to me - have you tried running an Anti-virus scan or scanning your computer with Spybot &/or AdAware?

Possibly a virus issue, not just spyware. I would definitely check your system over and --- just in case --- I would advise NO ONE here to go to the link themselves.

Also download a program called Hijack this by Microtrends or get someone to do it for you.

This will help identify what Spyware/Virus you have incase the Spyware/Antivirus cannot fix the problem. From there, you can usually find an online solution to fixing the problem.

Worst case scenario, back up your stuff and reformat.

I would say exactly what's been said. Run a virus scan AND spyware scans.

I used to recommend scanning for spyware with both ad-aware and spybot search & destroy. If you still have the problem after removing everything nasty that those programs find... I have a lot of experience identifying viruses and spyware with Trend Micro's HijackThis, so you can always post your HJT log file here or send it to me in a PM and I'll tell you what to do

.

If you need a safe download of HJT:

Thanks for the info...I'll try getting some of those programs....

Though I think at this point, I think I have a bunch of errors in the computer here and there...
------------------
Should I just buy an external hard drive for my stuff?
That way I can just clean the whole computer.....(of course, I'll try scanning and trying to fix it first) If it's not fixed...I'll kindly take your help Zero ^_^

------------
On Hard drives...I have seen a bunch...two caught my interest at Costco

on has 500gb = $70
the other has 1,500 gb for $120......

-thanks ^^

UPDATE:

After trying several programs to get rid of that annoying problem...

It's called "Spyware Doctor" and it's free....
The thing scanned my computer....found like 300 and something malware...and like two trojan viruses...shocked me too 0_o......

So yeah..thanks again guys for the tips ^_^
