Check your desktop link and see what it looks like. Now as most idiots do here, they don't know how to check the links so I will tell you here. Right-Click on the desktop icon and then choose Properties. It will show you the link. Perhaps your link might be wrong so it opens Google search engine to find the correct page. Anything is possible with nutters. Windows does require some intelligence but people don't understand this.

Sounds like an invasion of an adware, redirect, or virus culprit. I would try Ultra Adware Killer first. You can download from MajorGeeks: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/deta...re_killer.html |
