Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / May 2008IE 7 - Hyperlink Problems
whenever i click the hyperlink to a webpage, IE takes me to a completely different webpage, even if I copy and paste the link in the url bar, I still end up being directed to another website altogether. When I first recieved my computer this wasn't happening, but about tewo months later, I am facing this very annoying problem. any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance/ Sounds like you have malware. You should scan for malware, fix what you can, then visit a "Hijack This" forum and do everything they tell you to do.

Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
