    This is driving me mad

    and i dont know how to stop it,


    I'll explain,

    When i type an address in the address bar
    i.e. www.boards.ie ---- it brings me to boards.ie

    BUT

    When i click the drop down arrow on the address bar a few seconds later is says this

    "www.boredlife.com/p/www.boards.ie"

    This is happening with every link i type in ,,

    I have done spybot searchs, virus searches and it's still there,,,,

    anyone got any idea why ?

    your browsers been hijacked mate.

    download this: http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

    and then review the results and use it to remove anything with the boredlife url in it. that should do the trick.

    remember 'google is your friend'. ;)google search results

    as a matter of keeping things tidy, make sure you run updates on spybot and your antivirus before you run them or they are next to useless. :D

    Its a spyware/logging site AFAIK.

    Just redirects you but saves your browser history, for "nefarious purposes" :)

    Download Hijack This

    And delete all the bored life stuff.
    Its to do with the default prefix of IE I think.

    Check out my sig for the best search to run :D
