    Metacafe to Facebook, why?
    Hello!
    For the past few days, whenever I log into a site called as 'Metacafe', the link automatically directs to 'face book', as a result I cannot watch 'metacafe' anymore, any suggestions, why this is happening?

    Are you getting redirected when you try to login to metacafe, or when you try to navigate to the site in your web browser? Are you using a bookmark that maybe corrupted... a.k.a. have you tried typing http://www.metacafe.com directly into your web browsers address bar instead of just clicking on a bookmark? Have you tried to access metacafe in a different web browser (if using IE use Firefox or visa-versa... or even use Chrome or Opera).

    There are quite a few viruses going around at the moment that automatically redirect you to a particular site when you click on any link.

    I had one a while back where every single link I clicked on took me to MySpace, if I typed the address into the address bar though it would work fine.

    Might pay to run some spyware and virus software to check if that might be the problem.

    Olive & shazamataz, Thank you for your replies. Well, normally I use Google and then click in for metacafe, but just within milli sec , it directs me to face book. I tried by typing the Metacafe - Video Entertainment - Movies, TV, Music & Sports on my address bar as well,but the results are same.
    As to Olive's question, I use IE and Mozilla Firefox both, all the time. But both have given me the same results.
