I'm not quite sure as to where this would go... its not world news... and doesn't really fit anywhere else...
I'm having a hard time viewing AG... I get redirected to Yahoo.com everytime I go to a new page on here... come to find out I can actually click where I want to go and then go to another tab super quick and that staves it off... but I'd rather not have to do that all the time... Its only AG... at first I thought I'd gotten banned or something, but I can still view profile comments and obviously post. My computer worked last night and yesterday... and I haven't been anywhere on it other than to check my school mail (didn't read anything), AG, Formspring, and facebook... I had one of those "zomg is that you in this pic????" fb messages yesterday, but I didn't click the link... can you get infected nao just from having a viral profile contact you? I know this isn't the place to do this, but I'm hoping that since a lot of you are very computer literate you might know something I don't. (we may even have a programmer or two lurking around)
as I said... it only affects my viewing of AG... so other people might have or end up having the same problem too. If its allowable but better off somewhere else, could one of the mods make the judgement call and move it for me?
if anyone has any insight to my situation, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've tried several yahoo/google searches to try and fix it... but to no avail :'(
I'm not very tech savvy.
But have you ran your anti-virus on your computer? If not, then you should and if you do have viruses, then it'll get rid of them.
Hmmmm...This is really odd indeed.
Some possible solutions (Low Chance of Working):
Virus Scan
Uninstall browser and Reinstall
Change browser
Perhaps try different computer like a friends (at your house and your internet)
Try going to safe mode
Make browser into compatability veiw
Do cached veiw
Do inprivate browsing
Sorry if this doesnt help...
If you go on the internet from internet explorer, you'll probably want to download another browser. After I downloaded Firefox, I never went back o_O
There's many kinds of those facebook viruses, but now all of them harm your computer. They all will harm your facebook account but only a few actually put viruses on your computer. My friend clicked the link one time, and he got a rootshell, but his anti-virus kicked in and took it away. One word of advice: don't click those FB things!
sorry for my lack of communication.... I have been asleep since I posted. I was on firefox when it happened... and I'm pretty sure I have antivirus/malware programs on my computer. Earlier today before I posted, I had turned my computer on and off, scanned it w/ what I have, and a few other things, but nothing worked. I get back on tonight a few hours later and there's no longer a problem... I'm slightly confused, yet happeh. If it happens again I'll go w/ the google chrome thing. Thanks to all that cared.

Following these provided steps,you'll probably work the virus out.
1.Visit wwww.cnet.com/co.uk
2.Ignore all the tech & news updates and click downloads which is in the top right hand corner.
3.Scroll down to the first download availible (which is AntiVirus)
4.Download it and it will take some time,but removes threats and viruses and other etc.
If this doesn't work for you then I strongly advise buying Norton 360 Gold.I have it on my laptop and it will remove viruses,threats bugs and lots more.
But if the Cnet thing works then heres the link:
http://downloads.cnet.co.uk/view/security-software/avg-anti-virus-free-edition-2011-39182646/
Don't swicth to Mac...Mac makes more problems then solves. First of you have to rechange your hard drive every like 2-6 months. Guess what all of your important things on it are gone since it crashed.
Anyways if you are from United States go to AVG (Anti Virus)
Or here Avast (Anti Virus)
(They both are tested Spyware free and if you are skeptical about Cnet...well Ive gotten alot of things from it and just don't be...Cnet is connected to Download.com i think)
