Hi Nial, Sounds like you may have had your computer hijacked by spyware or viruses. You should run something like Super Anti Spyware straight away and then your anti virus software.

When I enter a search into Google and it comes up with the results when I try and read through the different results I am directed into a completely different link.. It is usually a shopping site or something similar. I cannot return to the Google search results without starting all over again. This is very frustrating. Anyone got any ideas. Regards.
