Clicking on links takes me to random pages (sometimes Facebook)
Clicking on links after doing google search takes me to spam search sites
Certain sites are inaccessible; particularly when attempting to download latest definitions files for spyware programs such as Ad Aware, or Spybot.
Many sites redirect or provide broken links.
