    Redirected to random website
    I keep getting redirected to other websites when I search for something. Usually using Google. If I type in the webpage in the windows search bar, using dot.com, it takes me where I want to go. I have been getting redirected to Tazinga, and globalsearch to name a few.Im running Windows7. Any help?

    Sounds like you have some malware.

    Download, install, update and scan with malwarebytes, this should resolve the issue.

    Your internet browser (if not more) has been hijacked. It needs to be removed.
    You may try going to control panel, internet options, advanced tab, and reset.
    If that doesn't work then you will need to have your computer cleaned of this infection or use the
    Media that came with your computer and set it back to factory.
