So i've had this problem for a few weeks now and at first i thought it was because i had a really irritating virus and that it would go away once i fixed it. Nope, still having the problem and its making simple searching such a hassle.
So for example today i google searched Jansport backpacks and once i clicked the link i wanted to go to it shows me this green symbol on the side and then takes me to a different site.

So usually out of all the times i click a link after google searching it usually always gives me that green symbol then takes me completely somewhere else.

I'm using mozilla but this also happens in IE and i don't know how to fix it. I don't know how to make it stop.

Sounds like you have a hijacker :P

No, and that's exactly why I'm telling you to use it. Before we continue, please answer the following question:

If you don't want to follow our advice on the Tech Help thread then why are you posting here?

Did you use it?

im running it right now. I just checked to see with if it is reliable to use because hearing things from you and JC penny make me wonder the opposite.

JC Penny? Why would you wonder the opposite from me... I've been helping people resolve technical issues on this forum for years now. Just because I'm a jackass in the debate threads doesn't mean that I'm a jackass here.
