Weird redirects. wrong site comes up

[Eric]

Hi,

Occasionally, I'll click a link and rather than the
browser directing me to the proper site, a site that I've
been to in the past will come up. The address bar will
have the correct, intended url, but that's not what comes
up. It has also happened when I click on the 'home'
button. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Eric,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK

Possibly your cache folder is corrupt:
