amazon takin' over my 'puter

[wizard69]

havnt got a a clue whats causing this but sometimes when I click on a web link my computer starts to connect to the wes site and then mysteriously takes me to Amazon.This is happening quiet frequently and is getting annoying.If i click backpage it will take me to the web page requested so it has obviously loaded, but what is the thing with amazon---are they so desperate to sell books? Any help appriciated guys

Thanks ratter,will give it a go but im still curious as to why it happens (computer illiterate that I am)

I think what you have is what is called an Internet Explorer Helper, but all it does is redirect all your searches to a different page. install winamp and go to IE helpers you can disable it from there.
Good luck!!
