Is Windows 8 really any better than Windows 7?
I really don't like Windows 7 or Vista. As far as I am concerned, XP was the most user friendly operating system. Is Windows 8 a step in the right direction for Microsoft, or is it just another cluge?
1 AnswerSoftware8 years agoWhen I click on a Yahoo search result (link) I am redirected to a totally irrellevant website. Why?
This started happening about a week ago. When I click a Yahoo (or Google) search result, the desired URL shows up briefly in the URL window but immediately another site URL shows up and that's the site that "takes over" my search.
For example, I searched on "food", selected "food network" link and ended up at "search.6stopsearches.com/feed..." Another search I clicked on the IRS website link and ended up at "www.blinkx.com/..." This type of problem occurs every time on this particular computer. The other computer works fine.
Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?
I have tried deleting cookies and history and this worked briefly one time.
