internet explorer issue?

Question

so starting a day or 2 ago i realized that there is somethin going on w/my internet explorer (8). mind you it's taken over 20 minutes to post this due to the problem. anyways anytime i try to get to a website it will load and then automatically go to some search engine ( http://www.resultdns.com ) and i've been getting alot of popup and i never get pop ups. i haven't installed anything new or clicked on anything i am not familiar with. i have run antivirus (norton) and spyware programs as well as deleted internet cookies/temp files. do i need to (or should i) uninstall and reinstall internet explorer? if so will i lose all my site in my favorites folder?

Answer 1

this as above said is a virus thingy....belive me my experiences says this!

reinstalling ie8 is of no use get avg free 9.0(http://free.avg.com) home edition its enough for that virus.

some virus dont come in by clicking a link or installing a stuff they just flow in (thats why we call them a VIRUS!!)

always clear browsing history and cookies by pressing crtl+alt+del

and if you want you can use mozzila firefox its free and faster than ie8 and safer as well

hope your problem is rectified
