when i click on a site i want to go to, i get redirected to one of a hundred other sites, ie williamhillcasino, some beauty spa and many others without actually getting the site i want. Any answers?
I type a site into google search, like lottery home, the choices come up as normal, but when i click on the national lottery link, i keep getting redirected to other site and ads. This is starting to grate a little as i takes me 10mins to finally get to what im looking for.

This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
- Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
- SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/
- Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
- Windows Defender - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx
- Spybot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html

If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:
