Hi! Someone told me this was the place to come for help since I am a total computer IDIOT.
Problem: When I type in a website like www.amazon.com or www.target.com it will load but after about 1 second the page will automatically switch me to an "about:blank" search engine page. At first I thought it was a sign I should not be shopping at such crappy places like target, but I have been told there is something in my computer??
What I have done: I run Spyware and Adware each week, and make sure they are updated. I formerly had Kazza on my computer but removed it about 3 months ago after having porn pop-up problems that are now gone.
Help: I need things explained in easy to understand-non technical-step-by-step- I am-a-total-dummy- terms. Thanks for your help
