why does firefox sometime load a spam page when I click on links to sites that I reularly visit?
Every 10 to 30 links that I click on will lead me to a spam page. These are regular normal sites. I am not a retard. When I try a link the second time it usually works fine.
I have cleared cache, cookies, reinstalled Firefox and scanned for malware. No dice.

How many different applications did you use to scan for malware? Any one of them will probably not catch everything.
