For some reason, out of no where, whenever I go to certain web pages, the
page displays for a moment and then redirects to a search page a moment
later. You cannot click back to the page. And it seems to happen on the web
pages that require you to login for something like email... I did an up to
date virus scan and came up with nothing. How do I fix this???? Please help
me someone. Thank you for your time.

Browser hijacker. Run Spybot Search and Destroy and do a Google search for
the hijacker that your browser is being directed to. You should also run
CoolWebShredder.

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
