When I type in a web site, it auto. goes to another web
site. Like a search eng.

ex. "footlocker.com" it goes to http://www.smart-
finder.biz/1507/footlocker.com

I do not know why, it does it. it would be a lot of help
to help me out

Thanks

That's extremely common. You've been redirected. The
domain owner sets it up that way, for any number of
reasons, using any number of methods, so the short answer
to your question would be to contact that company's
management or Webmaster and ask for their particular how
and why.
