Hey everyone!

Today I noticed that my Internet Explorer always directs me to the site awardspace.com, although I did never type the adress in the adress bar.
If I open up geekstogo.com, sometimes it changes to that site too, it happens on almost every page.
So if anyone knows how to block that site, or whatever causes this problem, please help me

Hello L2SILukas...

Sounds like you may be infected with a redirector.

Please go to the Malware Forum and follow the instructions you'll find there.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- post a hijackthis log in THAT forum. Do Not reply to or "bump" your own topic...if it shows a reply, it may be overlooked as one that is being worked on.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.
