Internet Explorer directs me back to previous page
« on: October 23, 2006, 02:42:43 AM »
Would really appreciate it if anyone has any advice on the following problem which is really annoying me with Internet Explorer at the moment.
When in any webpage after a few seconds I am redirected back to the previous page every single time. If i click on a link in a webpage it will take me to that link, but only for a few seconds before it sends me back.
Also when I click on the Start button at the bottom left of the screen it appears very briefly then disappears unless I keep the left mouse button held down.
I think I have a virus on my computer but have Antivirus software saying it is clean.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Kevin

What antivirus are you using and is it up to date?
Are you also using antispyware?
When did this start happening?
Did you change anything before this problem began?

I have Norton Antivirus and it is in date. I think I have some sort of spyware virus, it constantly brings up a red box at the bottom right of my screen.
It started happening on Saturday and I havent knoingly changed anything at all.

I originally got a serious virus on my computer a few months ago where my antivirus had expired. A friend replaced the hard drive and reinstalled windows on my computer and everything was fine. Had this spyware (red box) for a few weeks now)
