Hi, first time here. I don't know what to do since I'm not to savy with this sort of thing. When I try to access yahoo.com, a different page will come up but the address bar will still read yahoo.com. I've run ad-aware and spybot but these don't seem to help. What do I do now? Any help would be great!
