How do I prevent my browser to redirecting me to ad sites instead of the site I click on? It just started doing this yesterday.
In the past two day, my browser goes to the site I click on and then immediately redirects me to related advertising sites. Is this a virus? How do I get rid of it?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

As far as I can tell, the above suggestions just make things worse.
If using the above listed scanners does not fix it or if you are blocked from installing those scanners then ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.
