Suddenly, I am getting "redirected" to various sites - mostly retail, when I am perusing most of my favorite sites. Did I download some virus! He Is No Fool Who Gives What He Cannot Keep, To Gain That Which He Cannot Lose! | ||

go to malwarebytes.com and download adwcleaner and malwarebytes. both are free. run adwcleaner first, scan everything, quarantine and delete everything. it will force a reboot then install malwarebytes and scan for anything left. | |||

An AV like Malwarebytes is an excellent start and may be all you need. However, a few other things depending on your OS. An infected hosts file could be populated with misdirections. This needs to be checked > link Additionally, you should clear your browser cache and also clear your DNS cache . Also IF you are going to an URL from a saved link, this can be appended and should be deleted. Enter the URL directly (in browser NOT in a Google search  ) and then make a shortcut from any successful entry.Good Luck | |||
