Hmm....Seems that you might have some mal/spyware on your computer. If you go to download.com, you can search for anti-spyware, most of them are free. I didn't click on the link, as that sometimes will install the malware

im on my work computer though with full protection and it sometimes also comes up on my home laptop. imma going to check my files anyway though. thanks

This is happening to me on my work computer (fully protected), also. It's been happening since Sunday.

I haven't noticed it at home but I don't think I've gotten online at home since Sat..

i have been typing the yorki talk address into the search bar instead of just googling yorkie talk after cleaning out my computer and its no longer happening. i do need to check though if it is malware protected... just dont wanna tell the it guys i sneak onto yorkie talk at work...hehe.

everytime I hit the back arrow on my laptop and my desktop computer,
it doesn't go back to the previous page, I get 'googleleads.g.doubleclick.net/page' first, so I just go to my history and
bypass that to the previous page I was on....don't know why it does this, it is irritating, no other websites do it, I have no spyware on my computers, it is scanned daily....

I just got this today. I open the Task Manager to kill it, then I go to Internet tools, and clear the browsing history and especially I am sure to delete the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder. This is where most viruses first go before they begin to invade your computer...so whenever anything doesn't look/act right, I empty that folder.

Last time was a few months ago, and now again today! But I was doing a thread search and when I clicked on one of the threads I found to open it, that thing redirected me immediately. I hate them.

Some program has targeted you I would guess so run your antivirus and antimalware and update everything and reboot and see what happens. Hope it goes away! I know when I got on that screen just now it wouldn't let me leave without a message asking me if I really wanted to leave that site or something and in the background, up jumped a screen saying I had - drumroll - won a cruise!!!!!!!!

Boy, if I had a dollar for every cruise I've won on my Answering Machine, in the mail or online, I'd be pretty happy!

Oh, I'm too scared to respond. I heard that they can use a response to sign you up for all kinds of weird things like changing your L.D. service or charging your credit card for things you didn't order and nonexistent trips, cruise, etc. I don't know if any of that is true or urban legend that simply responding can mean trouble but it was enough to keep me from ever responding to anything like that.

It's funny, I was ordering something on an 800 number phone call and this guy told me I had won a cruise after the sale was done, info exchanged, etc., and I almost panicked. He kept pressing and I threatened to cancel the order if he kept on! You could tell he was wondering what was going on with me but I was so scared they were going to rope me into something now that they had my credit card number, I did think quite a few times about calling back and trying to cancel the order and/or cancelling my credit card. But I've heard so many awful stories about winning cruises I was an idiot about it. Thankfully, nothing bad did happen and no strange charges showed up on my credit card and I got my order with no problems and that poor guy is probably still shaking his head wondering what in the world set me off. It's funny now when I think how worried I was!
