Hey,

I currently have IE 6.0 and running XP Pro. The problem I'm having, is that when I'm online and try to go to a site, it will take me to a completely different site. The Address bar will say the page that I intended to go to but the actual page displayed is something else. For example, when I'm trying to go to yahoo mail, it will take me to espn's site. I also get a lot of 404 errors (file not found). This annoying problem has been happening on and off since last November. I stopped having this problem for a few months but has recently come back in the past two months. Has anyone ever had this problem??? If so, how does one stop this from happening. I've done virus scans and tried running a couple of anti-trojan softwares...all found nothing. I'm always up-to-date with windows upgrades.

Please help me!!

Kat
 
Have you tried Adaware? Could be spyware.
