Address Bar Redirects Me to Results Page

I used to be able to type in an address in the address
bar and it would take me directly to the desired site.
Now it always takes me to a Yahoo results page. This is a
waste of time because I already know the site I'm looking
for. How can I get it back to where I go directly to the
site I type in the address bar? HELP
 
Try with the complete protocol http://www.... if this works then you have
been hacked by parasites.


Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

Thanks Henri, I'll try it. Does spyware have anything to
do with the tons of pop ups that I've been getting? I
didn't used to get any. Now I can't get away from them.
