If you don't already have any anti-virus\anti-spy\adware prorgams installed on your computer try to download the following listed programs, and install them on the infected PC, and then run a full scan of all drives.

Ad-Aware

AGV Anti-Virus.

damn, my spyware picked up a few thing but still i have the same problem of my browesr just going to another website.

Please would you not post more than one post in a row (it's against the forum rules), as it clutter the thread instead the previous post with additional information.

What website does it redirect to? If you try and change your homepage in your browsers options, does it still happen?

Sorry about that it directs me to websites like this (below) one but before it redirects me it squeezes into a really really tiny box then redirects

EDIT: The links are always the same it sends me to except how the one above says '53' the rest have a diffrent number there.

DONT use Ad-Aware. In my experiance its more trouble than it is good.

yeah, I actully am with M_e on this one, Ad-Aware is really good

Download Microsoft AntiSpyware, go into the Advanced Tools, click Browser Restore, then restore everything back to default. You also might want to do a full scan too . Doesn't hurt to have Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy, either.

In terms of viruses, avast! has never let me down, and it's free.

Try scanning your computer in SafeMode.
