When I type in a search, it goes wherever it wants!! If I don't know the website address, I am screwed. Why is this happening all of a sudden? My husband thinks it's a virus. I sent a complaint to Yahoo. Never heard from them. Please help!!

What kind of sites are you being redirected to? Do they try and sell you a malware removal program? Does it just happen with Yahoo, or is Google affected too?

Try running a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

mayoclinic.com went to info.com then info.com goes to hotjobs.com
Google search does the same!! There are no selling programs...just going wherever it wants!!

Check your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\hosts file for entries other than localhost.
