too tired to link

My internets is being quite pesky today. I keep getting weird sites. Example: When I type in www.oldnavy.com, I get this site instead www.harborfreight.com. Do I have a virus? What is going on? Help!

Don't want to freak you out, but I typed in www.oldnavy.com and got Old Navy's website...

You might. :(

Probably not a virus. A lot of times, Spyware and Adware can do that to your computer.

My recommendation is to visit http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and download a free, easy-to-use, and safe program to remove some of the junk. On the menu (left side of the page), click "Ad Aware Personal" under the "Products" heading. You can download it for free. Install, let the program run on your computer, and it'll give you a list of stuff that should be removed.

If this doesn't help, you might have a virus. But usually when my computer does that stupid redirecting crap, this program fixes it.
