My home screen is a Google homepage. When I go to it it immediately goes to 5gigs.net Pop up blocker is on but it goes around it somehow. I can not delete. Any idea how to turn this spam off. I am using a mac computer

Chosen solution

This problem is often caused by the "My Scores" gadget on iGoogle.

Open the iGoogle page but press the escape key to stop the page loading. If you have the "My Scores" gadget delete it.
