Every time I click a link on a webpage I get hijacked to a different page (usually selling some rubbish) how on earth do I stop this from happening I do not have a virus or anything nasty on my computer and all my security is totally up to date. Please somebody help this has gone on long enough now and I am really sick of it.

Hi boopygirl,

You should try some good pop you blocker on the same. Try with a different browser like Google chrome which has some good pop up blocker.

Also, ensure there are no malware infection on the system:
