Do you have a utility on your computer? This program cleans your computer of junk files and optimizes various functions.

On your browser click

tools>internet options>delete>choose all boxes>click/choose delete..

tools>internet options>settings>view objects>highlight all objects>delete from the left section.

tools>internet options>settings>view files>highlight all files>delete.

tools>internet options>settings>view files>on left side choose local settings>double click/open temp folder>highlight all>delete.

In this last one after you highlight all and delete there will be some that will not delete. The deleting stops and you will have to do them one at a time. If you delete one type of file and there are some bunched up, you can highlight and delete groups of the same. What ever does not delete click and drag to a section away from your work area in the window so you don't get confused. When you are done with all these steps>restart.

I have a utility and run it frequently to keep my machine lean and clean.

The redirection just may be a cookie or something installed in your temp file and they redirect using this piece of info installed on your computer.

That's what I have done since yesterday and I've not had a problem with redirection yet.

Good luck. If anyone has another idea please share it in case my "thought-out method doesn't' work.

Thanks for the detailed instructions! I haven't been 'jumped' to a new site recently. But I'll save your post just in case.

Does it have anything to do with exiting a page? That would be something like a popup I think.

I don't get pop-ups from BC. This has been the entire BC page going somewhere totally different and the back button not working. And it was not when exiting anything, just random times being hijacked. Not once all afternoon, thankfully! Did BC find their virus & fix it??

Our virus protector AVG gave us a warning yesterday and took care of the prob. We got off here. I was afraid it was a virus. Gb, R and T

Fortunately I have a computer geek son in house in case I get a virus. Glad to hear you had virus protection.

A free AVG anti-virus program.

It's free to install on your computer.

yup free AVG is the best. I clicked on free 8.5 instead of the 9.o for 34.95 but it gave me 9.0 free! Get it from their main site and ya won't have to do anything with their affiliates.

Btw I got misdirected last night. I I did ctrl alt del all at the same time, and task, and got out of here lol. I guess it's not so dangerous tho huh? I'm new on computer....can ya believe? Webtv all these yrs... I'm all caught up no tho, thanks everybody.

No, not my horse. It was a stubborn horse I hire for the day while in western China. I have minimal horse riding experience but they let me take it all by myself & ride up into the trail-less mountains. I did a lot of walking while pulling it!

I asked customer service here. They said it was MY computer and NOT their server.

If you've scanned your computer and it's still happening, try another computer using Linux. (Tough to do if you're used to Windows, but it helps.)

If you still have that issue, then contact customer service also and let them know.

Not much else we can do.

OH....I just remembered!!!

If you receive one of those pop-up windows that says "YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED!!!! CLICK HERE TO CLEAN" or whatever, DON'T CLICK OK ORRRRR CANCEL!! Either click the red "x" on the right top or cancel your window through task manager.

Sorry I don't have more.
