...I would type in a term and when I pressed enter or search it would take me to an entirly different URL with NOTHING to do with the term. WIERD!

On and off for me throughout the day. Mandatory Internet ID as mandated by the White House, coming your way!

My guess is that you have acquired a virus that corrupts your search engines. I had the same thing happen to me recently. It is adware that bypasses your antivirus protection. I had to take mine in to have it cleaned.

Speaking of search engines, I use ONLY “Startpage”.
Unlike Google, it does NOT record your IP.
I am not the paranoid type, but every little bit of privacy
helps.

Malwarebytes in full scan mode.
It's a free program and does a great job.

Check out “Google Redirect Virus”. PITA viruses, sounds like you have what I had on here.

I had a similar problem. I wanted to research “neo-nucleotide peptide bonding.” But somehow I kept typing “nude skanky stewardesses.”

I typed in “Hillary Clinton” and “hot”, and nothing happened.

Was it scour.com? There's a couple of redirect viruses out there that are getting on my last nerve...Or at least they were , I downloaded some add ons (script block, ad block, site block) from firefox and when I was rerouted to scour after a search I declared scour an untrusted site and I haven't seen it since.

I got a virus from an Internet site ( reverse phone look up) even though I had Norton installed. It took out all my programs including PC recovery, but not my data. So I reinstalled from back up CDs and now I’m using McAfee for my anti virus.
Took all weekend...Argh!

I had plenty of internet problems this past weekend, one of my neighbors was complaining too. I thought it had to do with online tax preparers (sp). But what do I know!

I’m still using AltaVista and Lycos. Are there any new search engines I should know about?

Stop trying to search for “Obama Presidential successes”
