Hi there,
Firstly please excuse my ignorance to computer usage, im am a novice home user, and i would really appreciate your help.

I have Windows XP, and have all the up date AVG anti virus and Microsoft Beta anti spyware.

I dont do [bleep] or anything of the such and really only use my computer to browse the internet and play a very old coply of Red Alert, however the much i miss my Amiga 500+!! I still havent got a clue on how to get into all of that emulation stuff!!!

But thats besides the point,

Recently for no apparent reason, every time i do a search in google, it comes up with relevent pages, however when i click on the link it takes me to a completely different site! for instance a "abc search" or Spyware removal tool site! even if the site is a government link!

Friends have told me i have some sort of spyware, but i am reluctant to download yet more software, because previous experience has tought me that alot of these companies actually make the whole probelm a [bleep] of a lot worse!

There is no other problems with my PC and everything is runnig fine! when i do a scan through AVG or the microsoft antispyware there is no appparent problems!

I thank you in advance for any advice you can give me....

Thanks again

Jay
