A website I have blocked in mozilla continues to open up web pages by itself. How do I stop this? Thanks!
There is a website 'lycos.com' that continues to open up various we pages that use it and although I have blocked them in Mozilla unter tools/options/privacy/exceptions they STILL keep opening up unwanted web pages without my being able to stop them. The sites are : lycos.com; gamesville.com; lycos.com.au; to name a few.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

There is so much good about the Internet. It allows us to communicate instantly, freely and widely for business and personal purposes.
Unfortunately, where there is good, the forces of evil also lurk.
This point is driven home by an international plot to hijack millions of computers, as has been reportedly disclosed by a recently unsealed New York indictment.
The aim of the plot has been to use malware to hijack computers in various countries such that people visiting common web sites such as Netflix, ESPN, Amazon and IRS.gov are rerouted to other sites.
