Hi

I have a problem on my computer. Whenever I visit the site www.smh.com.au

(Sydney Morning Herald) and click on the links there, I end up at a porn site
(this happens once in about 5 times). System scan by an anti virus (updated
weekly) comes up with nothing and I also have a firewall in place.

I heven't noticed this problem at other web sites.

Any help in getting to the bottom (no pun intended) of this will be

appreciated.

Thanks
