Navigation Problems

[raflad67]

My laptop (running windows 7) which was working fine up until yesterday has suddenly decided not to navigate from the homepages obtained through the favourites list, so they will for example show the BBC homepage but when you click on sport for example it doesn't go there (although very occasionally it has)

I have tried system restore but that didnt work.

Anyideas guys?

thanks

Might be way off target here but I had a problem with my aunt's computer recently where it got a bit of a virus on it.

You would run a google search and it would return results. So say you searched for e-goat. you would get the link saying e-goat and when you rolled over it the bottom status bar would display the correct link. But on clicking it an infected DLL took over and redirected you to sites that seemed to be those link aggregate sites where they are just a list of "did you mean to type..." kind of things.

If you typed the url into the browser it worked fine.

So what I am trying to ask is can you type in a URL direct? I know that could be kind of tricky with dynamic content like BBC news. But maybe can you right click on the link, select "Copy Link" paste it to notepad to verify what it looks like then paste it to the browser address and nav that way?

Let me know if this is of any help to you.

I wouldn't have called that a virus. That is generally labeled as a browser hack where some "software" has been installed it will run you off to their place rather than what you want.

Download Spybot Search and Destroy. That is all about malware and spyware and should give you a good solution.
