Pages Redirected

Alex2579 · 11-29-2006, 08:42 PM

When I opened up firefox this afternoon, the start page was redirected to this site called jumk.com. I thought this was strange but not too serious until it occurred each time, and started happening to other pages i view frequently. now every one of those sites redirects to this site. I swept with Adaware SE twice and did a full virus scan with Kaspersky 6.0 and its still occurring. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Thanks alot,
Alex

Hi Alex, welcome to TSF

Do you get the same problem in Internet Explorer? Have you tried reinstalling Firefox or upgrading to v2.0? Have you installed any search toolbars or extensions?
