Redirect help

JasonP · 2009-06-01T22:12:56+00:00

When i try and click on a link on any website i am redirected to any number of websites. This all started about 2 days ago. I haven't downloaded anything new to the computer and am not sure where i could have gotten it from. Some other problems that i have problems with that started the same time as the redirects did, but I'm unsure if they are related, is that when ever i try and open my yahoo email account on either firefox or IE, i am given an error message and it closes the internet. Also, before posting here i tried to do a system restore but all the restore points except one was deleted and the one that was avilable was not working. Again i dont know if the other 2 problems are related to the internet redirecting or not but I would like some help if at all possible.
