Q: Need Techhead help - constant re-directs
Hi everyone.
I know there are a couple of people on here who are really into computing.
I have a couple of issues.
Firstly, I'm CONSTANTLY getting re-directed to ad pages - I click on an ECC thread, and get re-directed to some crap. I'm in the middle of reading something, and I get a pop-up! I even had a couple telling me to make a phonecall to get updates! (but I'm not that stupid!)
I've run Spybot - including after an update, and it's still here. I've recently installed Chrome, and that almost seems to coincide with it getting worse. Avast hasn't stopped it.
Any suggestions.
Also - I can't access my email account, even using the saved password I have on here. I recently (Sunday) did a reset for all add-ons etc (partly cos of the pop-ups, and partly because it was so damned slow). So, now, while I can access basically everything else, I can't get into my email! Before, it was saved and auto-entered. Now it seems to have gone... (yes, checked CAPS lock, etc).
Any suggestions??

if you can post here which site it is directing you to, i might be able to check it out for you.
Change to Mac OS X, what is most likely not easy on not-Mac puter.
It happened to me the same (for few days only) on Mac'c Safari, but as soon as Mac's update run, that was fixed. That was some 3-4 months ago, when China-man went with new detailed Internet sweep.
Re-direction happened, because of 'Internet GWall's protection', and you might be successful with 'clearing the cashe' on your puter. I'm mostly guessing on 'reasons for re-direct', and other thing came to mind is your 'not too powerful' Broadband.
I guess, you're running 'Win8', and there are several threads on Yahoo-gle with 'prevent re-direction on Windows'. See that for instructions.

Not helping....
Win7, and it appears to be DNS unblocker.... although, I can find no hints about it in my program files, nor are they in my browser add-ons, nor do my virus scanners etc find anything!

See Yahoo-gle with 'prevent web sites re-direction on Windows' in search for few threads.
There's more on search 'prevent re-direction on Windows'. All threads are about Win7.
