Does it send you to an online casino or a website that shows the habits of schoolgirls and horses? Because my best guess is spyware, have you tried running some anti virus/spyware programs?

Google Lavasoft Ad-Aware, install it, run the program, and that should fix your problem.

Beyond that, I'm stumped.

Yeah, if you try to remove spyware manually you will probably miss some. Just the way it works.

And if you don't have it yet, Get spybot: search and destroy. it works wonders.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Get all that was mentioned above, I have 4 different anti-spy programs active on my computer.

One of them is a trojen remover, and the other one has a free trial that expires soon.  So acually I have two: Spybot S&D, and Ad-Aware.

They work wonders together, one picks up what the other one misses.

Also Symantec Norton Anti-Virus (Not Free) takes out some spyware, but most of the time it can't remove it completely.

If you are Using Microsoft Internet Explorer, get Mozilla Firefox.  Because spyware tends to stick to IE, especially if you have MS Windows.

But if everything gets out of hand, reformat your computer as a last resort.  I had to reformat after the invasion of the dreaded IE plugin "Elite Toolbar."

Ok, this is strange, I cant get on any antispyware websites.
I'm really scared now.
I'm think it's my computer, so I'll email all my contacts from another, and set up a new account.
