For some reason when using Internet Explorer,if I type in the search bar OR a full web address for one particular website, it redirects me here????:huh I have messed with the tolls/internet opitions and cleared cookies and it still does it.. the sites are no way connetcted either.. I called my ISP and asked them how to fix it and they were stumped....:o Why would this happen???

I should also add that if I use my MSN, it does NOT do this... Only IE.

If you redirects you to Exriders, i would recommend abstaining from here because you most likely have the disease everyone else has.

Now for the honest answer, does your computer have any spyware ? The windows registry works in mysterious ways, maybe some how a key got messed up or something and redirects you all the time ? I'm not exactly sure, i would use a spyware tool first just to make sure, i recommened Spybot Search and Destroy or Adaware

Also what version or windows do you have ? Do you have SP2 ? If its not spyware, and you can't figure it out, i'll do some research and see what i can come up with, but for now im off to school

Your computer is smarter than you. It has realized you did not really want to go to other websites, so it sends you back here....where you really wanted to go.

Tina, did you installed SP2? If your not sure; right click on My Computer -> properties -> look for Micrsoft Windows XP SP?.

If so, uninstall SP2, this can be done via Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel.

If you haven't installed SP2, probably some sort of spyware. But that doesn't make sense either; spyware normally redirects to an advertising page or something of the sort:confused: Either way, it is a registry problem.

I'll haven't been able to find anything in particular to this problem but I am going to keep looking for ya!

hehe... I was expecting those kind of comments!!:blah: :o :p

This would be the Predator site I refer to...When Im not here I am over there since I own a Predator ;) Like I said, its only when Im on IE NOT when I sign in usnig my MSN Browser. I Also use spyware weekly and it still does it after a scan. I physically cannot get on that site threw IE like I used to but I have no problems what so ever anywhere else.... Weird Eh???:huh

If you type anything into the address bar, not even a valid website address, does it redirect you also?

....I think I might have found something

Ok, 3 things.

1) Ditch the Polaris

2) I have no idea what the problem is

3) Use Mozilla, screw IE

Just curious, do you have SP2 installed?

As far as the computer problem .... download ad-aware .... it should get rid of it ....I used to have the same problem with my Hotmail account getting redirected to a different website . Ad-aware solved it .

Wow, don't ever call them. They will just have you reformat your computer. I had to have corperate recover my stuff at work after that happened. My next computer is going to be a sony.

Did you play with any of the setting in your internet options:confused:

You might have accidently hit something while you where deleting you temporary files and clearing your history from your nightly surfing.....................................
