hyperlinks are being redirected

[kat]

Almost every time I try to click on a hyperlink in a web
page, I'm getting redirected to a page that
is "unavailable". My security settings are at medium so I
know that's not the problem. Even when I'm searching from
my address bar I get the unavailable page first and then
if I click on it a second time, in the address bar, it
will take me to the site.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kat

See Sandi Hardmeier's page about browser hijacking. Even if your hijacker
isn't listed here, there are enough descriptions for "fixing" that you
should be able to banish yours too:
