when making a selection from a search I am being redirected to a site other than what I selected and it says "redirecting" right on the tab, how do I stop it!
When doing a search, the search list comes up fine. On most of the sites I select, it redirects me to another search site. I have McAfee protection installed, and it shows no threats or issues. Even had their techs on my computer remotely. Also, my pop up is turned off, and I still get pop ups and it opens them in Explorer!

Do a malware check with some malware scanning 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 their databases before doing a scan.

all of these are safe? I don't always trust "free" software.
