Thread: irritating ads

I am currently using opera When I search something on google.com (or any other search engine) an advertisement web page opens up instead of the link I clicked.

Example:
• I type in google.com
• I search for example "When will the next FIFA soccer game start?"
• Google loads up my answers
• I click on one link, example: FIFA.com
• I get redirected to another website filled with advertisements instead of the one I intended to go to.




Thanks in advance.

A clear case of browser hijack. Uninstall your browser using Revo Uninstaller and remove all traces. Install again and check.

Have recently installed any software ? Some of them offer to change your search engine without your consent. Also the same may happen with your home page. Did you check your home page ? Is it the same as you set ?

If still facing the problem, uninstall the recently installed program and check.

Try browsing private mode...
see if it happens...

opera doesn't have a home page yet he can delete private data and try again

thats correct... you need to uninstall the browser and remove all its traces from the computer...
dont browser untill everything is done. and also scan the comp fully..

In that case, browser reinstall remains the only option.
