    Google search being hijacked to strange web pages
    When I do a Google search, the usual page of results appears, but when I click on any of the results, instead of openning the page on which I clicked, a strange page appears which seems to be a commercial search or list of possible links. Is this a spyware invasion? How do I stop this from happening?
    Thanks

    Do a quick search on your hard drive for a file HOSTS
    A normal file will not have any website addresses listed. Many spyware programs will add their own entries to this file.
