Hi, I did a search, but wasn't quite coming up with what I'm looking
for. Here are the issues I'm having (and BTW, I currently run adaware
and spybot regularly):
1) When I click on a link, instead of the browser going to that page,
the URL changes to some sort of ad crap. It's not an actual pop-up,
but the browser just sits there with some different URL, with related
words from the site I originally clicked from - looks like this:
http://www.ads234.com/adView.aspx?r...h_key=Waterston,%20Sam&mac=e8201ae3&Segment=1
Most of the time I can't get rid of it. I click 'back' and try to
click the link again, but get the same weird URL. What is that and how
do I stop IE from doing that?
2) I have not changed my java settings, but all of a sudded some
websites simply don't work. I disable my pop-up blocker, and when I
click on a image that is supposed to open in another window, nothing
happens. Similarly (I think) when I go to weather.com, and click for
the detail during the day, I get some weird message about my java
settings. Never used to happen before. What could change it if I
haven't even touched the settings?
Help is much appreciated, thanks.
