Isn’t a valid link … where did it come from ?

[EDIT]

Which web browser are you using ?

and have you got any weird Yahoo plugins enabled ?

[EDIT 2]

the hsimp=yhse-001 part of that URL seems to suggest it’s being redirected to Yahoo Search.

Hi Roach

If you’re using Windows can you try with Internet Explorer and see if that works

Possibly a malware problem (?)

As Emegra suggests, see if a different browser works … or try starting Firefox in safe mode

At the top of the Firefox window, click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled… Firefox will restart and offer the Firefox “Safe Mode” dialog.

cant even get into Internet explorer shall i do a scan, i have sby bot s/d or Malewarebytes anti maleware and Avast looks after everyting else thanks Graeme

Did you try Marks suggestion of opening Firefox in safe mode ?

10

Hi Mark just read this post , i went into remove programs and deleted fire fox and while i was there i deleted that Virtual Box thing that i downloaded from Linux live usb creator, but i would like to reinstall firefox as i never really got on with Internet Explorer, Ta mate for your time

OK the desk top seems ok now i reinstalled Firefox and i can now get back into and click on post and comment, but i am now running Malewarebtes in safe mode just to check if there was any maleware probs…What a palarva :o

12

I don’t understand why you needed Virtualbox in the first place … what were you trying to do ?

13

Yep, this is why Linux rocks - no malware :slight_smile:

14

Exactly and that is why i want to use Linux, i just hope you guys can put up with me for a while ???
