shaf Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 something weird has happened to my home pc. i used to be able to view stuff from photobucket.com quite easily before. but now when i try to connect to it, it acts as if the site doesnt exist and re-directs me to a search engine. if anyone posts a image linked to the site, i get a red cross the same kinda stuff happens if i try and connect to google. has anyone got any ideas on what is causing this?

Gamer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You should do a virus search. My guess is that you have a search engine hijack program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
