REDIRECT VIRUS
I am effected by one of these. Especially on this forum. I get redirected to another site which I then can't get off. Could anyone tell me in plain jargon-free English what I should do, please?

Easiest repair is to use ADWcleaner to quickly scan your PC and remove common malware and redirect viruses. Completely trustworthy software recently purchased by MalwareBytes - I use it daily at work. Sorts 95% of basic Malware and redirect issues. Link below, just run a scan (takes less than 5minutes) and then "Clean" to make repairs. Hope that helps.
