I have run McCafee, Spybot and Adaware, and none catch it.
It doesn't manefest itself except on Yahoo's homepage. The ONLY time I notice it exists is about 50% of the time I click on a link from a Yahoo search result.
When i do a search from yahoo, and click on a link in the result screen, 50% of the time it brings me to "results.yahoo.com", then stalls for a few seconds, then brings me to a completely unrelated page. Ususally it is a shopping page, like a junk search engine or Ebay, but sometimes it is a very…innapropriate page.
Anything you can tell me about this?

Oh oh…. You have a Zlob, I had one once. Extrealy hard to get rid of…not so much harmful, but they annoy the crap out of you because they keep redirecting your search results. Get Avast.com, and Spybot search and destroy. They are both good and free and might catch the virus. Good luck!
Make sure your not going on those "innapropriate" pages lol that how you prolly got one. Look up "Zlob" in wikipedia. Read what it says.

Its because its hidden so well. Try this.
Start>left click>explore>and there will be all of your folders that exist on your computer. Try to delete everything you dont need or dont know the purpose of. Then go to "Start" again>right click>control panel>add or remove programs> delete all the things you dont know of. Then buy an antivirus program if you want (recommended)
Then, restart your computer. Hope this helps.

have a look in msconfig, under the start tab, see if you have any randomly named run dlls, starting with names like " cffertyy.dll
if you do, email me for reoval instructions.
