    My computer has some sort of virus/spyware that I can't seem to get rid of. Whenever I click on a link, I get redirected to a different, random website. I don't have the problem when I type in a URL myself. I have tried using Norton Internet Security, but that has done nothing to solve the problem.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I have the exact same problem that the OP is having. That doesn't work. I've been on bleepingcomputer.com for the last month trying to get this fixed and even they have no idea how to fix it...
