I thought I had been hijacked, but maybe not. When I log into hotmail, the page loaded fine, but then I was redirected to a gateway/google page. Found out this could be turned off in the manage add ons under tools in ie. I also removed the redirect software. Now the gateway/google page tries to load several times,but can't and the pane where the ads from hotmail would have appeared say "Internet Explorer cannot load this page". Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. I did post my hijackthis log earlier today.
