Answer 1

are you only typing in/clicking on the main page http://www.fanfiction.net/ ?



i know many peoples list there myspace pages on their profiles as there homepages.



is it the main myspace page or a band/specific persons site?



try going to one of the sub-pages of fanfiction.net:

http://www.fanfiction.net/book/

http://www.fanfiction.net/anime/

http://www.fanfiction.net/movie/

http://www.fanfiction.net/forums/

http://www.fanfiction.net/communities/

http://www.fanfiction.net/search.php

http://www.fanfiction.net/dictionary.php

http://www.fanfiction.net/j/0/0/0/

http://www.fanfiction.net/secure/login.php



or a specific author or fic instead of the main page



it may be you do have malware/spyware but hopefully by going to one of these other pages you might be able to bypass it if you cant remove any outside problem

Answer 2

GAH. It was doing it to me also two days ago. Yesterday, it was fine. Now it's doing it again. And now he has almost 600k views, and the other day it was like 100k something, so it must be happening to a bunch of people.

Answer 3

It could be one of those ads they put before you can get to the site. Try going to a direct link and then navigating from there.

Answer 4

Use the tools woolybooly gave you, they will work. You just have a browser hijacker.
