My friend is having problems with the web site myspace. Every time she types in the address www.myspace.com she is redirected to a different site "windows best" or something like that. Would adware be causing this?

Adware, spyware, whatever. Yes, it's quite likely.

Could be a problem with the Myspace site itself as well as the Other website. Just give it a little while, and try it again. It could also be that your memory is too low on the hard-drive. Try checking that as well. Hope this helped!

In Internet Explorer: Tools >> Imternet Options >> Security (tab) >> Custom Level (button) >> Automatic prompting for Active X Enabled.\n\nIt might be that you added site to trusted domain. \n\nBy the way what Active X does, it installs .dll (program) on your PC in totally arbitrary manner  (ie: you have no any means to veryfiy what it is and what it will do to your PC). If page is Anty -Virus site, Microsoft etc that’s fine, otherwise you accepting totally unknown code on your PC which will be executed !!!\n\nListen to auditions # 38and # 7 (fast forward to 20 minutes 50 seconds).

This has happened to me a few times. I block all cookies and hasn't happened to me since. This is not cause by spy ware unless the website you went to was directly linked from the spy ware, another words, if you clicked on an ad.

to be honest lots of things could be causing it from software conflicts to adware and viruses, the best thing you can proberly do it get someone with a techy tool kit to have a look at it. (a friend or the local computer shop should have one)

try spybot and adaware to fix problems. If they can not remove them try rougescanfix which is pretty good at removing this type of adware.

You don't want to install adware on your system.  When you know what you are referring to, please post it so we can help you better.  Obviously you're new to computers.

Hello there. \n\nWell as you probably know by now, a solution will not always work but here are a few.\n\n1. Purge all your cookie files. This means getting rid of all the cookies that are stored on your computer, because there could be some malicious ones that prevent other sites from opening. So, in Windows Explorer...\n\na. Click on tools\nb. Go to Internet options\nc. On the 'general' tab, go to the browsing history\nd. click on 'delete' Internet temporary files\ne. apply and close\nf. close all applications and restart PC for settings to take effect\n\nAlternatively...\n\na. perform steps a. and b. from above\nb. click on 'security' tab \nc. outside 'security level for this zone square'\nd. click on 'reset all zones to default level'\ne. apply and save\nf. close all applications and restart PC for settings to take effect\n\nOr...\n\nCheck below tabs in 'Windows Internet explorer' \nor below status bar in explorer windows to see if the browser has blocked the site, and click the bar to allow the active X control...\n\nHope this helps!!

If you trust the page you're visiting, don't cancel the installation.  It means that page needs the ActiveX control to show properly.  If it's installed and running, the message shouldn't pop up the next time.\n\nIf the page can't be trusted, don't visit it again.

It looks like a nice site and owners name is listed when you do a DNS domain name look up so that is another good point. For me I go where the majority of my friend and family are already at. If you want to try it out go for it I just would not cancel my Myspace until I found out it was a site I preferred.

Sounds like something is wierd in your registry, I would try creating a new profile, log-in to that profile and see if it produces the same problem. Im guessing it probably will not.. \n\nI have had something simular to this happen with a registry setting that tweaked ie and gave me simular trouble..

That could be a lot of reasons, if you think virus is the cause, update anti-virus software, update windows security patches, do whole system virus scan, whole system spyware scan to rule out the possibilities first.\nNeed a free anti-virus software? avg ver7.0\nwww.grisoft.com \nNeed a free anti-spyware software? ad-aware se\nwww.lavasoftusa.com\nI think is more tend to a software recently installed, and that software has problem, if it is the case, try uninstall it, see if the problem gone.
