Mine hasn't fixed

I cannot do any searches without it coming up with spam sites and "this site will harm your computer" messages.

At least I know it isn't just me - but I hope it repairs soon....

Hi
I did that - and a full scan, disk cleanup, delete web history - everything - now it has happened on my husbands computer too - and I thought Kaspersky was meant to stop viruses which I am beginning to think this is

When you open your browser (no matter which one) just type http://www.yahoo.com/ in the browser URL window (at the top). This will take you to Yahoo search box instead of using google (until it is fixed)
