Anyone know of this weird xp/explorer issue

[Mark G.]

Seems all of the sudden, banner ads on sites that I know would not have porn
now do and then sometimes when I am at some webpages, it automatically keeps
switching me to a webspace for a company called awardspace. Anyone else
heard or seen this strange behavior? My anti-virus and spyware is not
picking anything up. Also, on the same places where I see the porn ads,
forums for some of my hobbies, I posted and asked if others were seeing
these and they said no. So I am thinking it could be something on my
computer. Can anyone here please assist?

Looks very much like you have landed some malware/adware/trojan or similar.

Ar you using spybot search and destroy - is it updated <including
innoculate?> and what does it say.
If you are not yet using this - suggest you install and see if that sorts
out your problem.
