Hi Claire,
This is caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items
listed in red.)

I am having a nightmare with my PC, when i connect to
the net it is going straight to http://start-page.info/?
u=1526 then it skips to http://exit.zap3x.com. If i type
any address in the address bar it just goes to the 'start-
page' with the addition of '&error=www.thewebsite.com' on
the end so i basically can't get on any website!!
I am getting constant pop-ups, short cuts on my desktop
for 'online shows', porn addresses showing in my
favorites and i am getting emails from BT Broadband
saying i have almost reached by download limit even
though i have only downloaded a couple of screensavers.
 
Another great way to prevent this from happening if you manage to successfully remove all spyware, diallers and crap that has been installed from browsing these sites is to avoid Porn sites altogether.

So much happens to prevent the correct functioning of PC when folks visit the trashy, I guess what can you expect when you drag yourself into the gutter.

Yes I have fixede all too many customer machines: and they all say "I never visited......": simnple response is 'if you never went there, you'd never have this problem.
