I would assume that you have some sort of Spyware or Adware on your computer.

I strongly recommend:

http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng...nti-virus-free

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng...i-spyware-free

http://www.zonealarm.com/store/conte...eeDownload.jsp

I'd also strongly recommend that you stop using Internet Explorer and use:

http://www.mozilla.com/products/down...win&lang=en-GB

Hope that helps.

We find that the Microsoft anti spyware product works pretty well.

But, barring that, Spybot S&D is pretty good at eliminating most things (and ID's most of what it can't remove); Hijack This is a good tool, but you need to know what you're doing.

Luck;

Agree with all those - you missed 1 out though - adaware se - sometimes catches things the others don't - and vice versa.

Link removed. I suggest anyone who visited it and didn't get an alert from their antivirus gets their PC scanned.

I suggest that anyone who clicked it, particularly considering the text in the message - needs to learn a bit more about safe computer use.
