I'm having a problem with my computer when ever I go onto google and I click on a link I search it takes me to a completely different page having nothing to do with what I'm searching. For example I was looking up lyrics to a son I clicked on a lyric website it took me to Galaxyhunt.com I tried again and it took me to Whitepages.com. Do any of you know whats going on?

Sounds like a browser hijacker. Do you have an alternate browser you can use to see if the problem replicates (i.e firefox)? How do other search engines behave?

According to galaxy hunt's web site it's a domain squatting page. Does it only do it with certain searches or any and all searches? If it's certain searches the web site listed may be expired and galaxy hunt is domain squatting. Either way try resetting IE to default settings and see if that helps.

It does it will all searches and it's not always Galaxy Hunt sometimes it actually relates to the page I'm going to. But I'll try resetting my IE.
