I don't see any attached picture (as you are probably posting this many placed and forgot at this location to add it).

But it sounds like you have some malware.

Run a spyware/adware/virus scan and see if anything comes up.

Merged with your existing thread.

That's really odd that you get directed there. Have you tried the simple steps of clearing your cookies and cache? It can't hurt, and sometimes it is the cause of silly errors.

yes i did but nothing change i go to

tools>>internet options>>delet cookies

delete all then google Spybot S&D and install it, update it and run it. Then google SpywareBlaster and install it, update it and immunize your system.

i agree with chicgeek, i heard somebody else having the same problem on another forum a couple of weeks ago, and it did end up there was some spyware/malware on their computer causing their probelsm

Or try using Firefox to start - it's better anyway.

If you are typing in stuff and getting redirected somewhere it's probably spyware or adware.

I would suggest downloading and scanning with:

Spyware Doctor
AVG Antivirus
Ad-Aware (awesome spyware tool).
