Ever have your browser take you to another page for no reason?
the strangest thing. I'm on a web page, (photobucket to be exact) and I load the page, and in less than 10 seconds, my page goes away and I get taken to another page that doesn't exist.
The new page reads:
Sorry, we couldn't find http://ib.adnxs.com/pt%3Fmember. Here are some related websites:
WTF? Why is it t aking my away from the page I am on for no reason and trying to take me somewhere else?

You have a hijacker on your computer....
I suggest downloading and running the following:
Adaware http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php and spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.htmlUA LU189

Hijackers will either work for firefox or IE, not both, different programs.
