hi david,
first thing I checked!the search bar was unchecked so this isn't the
problem.Think the pc has contracted either a virus which AVG is not
recognising or a piece of malicious code has somehow gotten in to my
browser.The petrol and matches solution is beginning to look good!LOL! Thanks
anyway!

Just a suggestion as it reminds me of a problem I had some time ago.
Go to View menu in IE, Explorer Bar and make sure that the Search item has
not been inadvertently checked.

Hi Folks,
Not primarily a JFW issue but I'm at the stage of pulling my hair out! I'm
using jfw 4.5.1 with xp home. Which till this morning ran great! Every time I
open a web page another site opens with a list of search results or is
someway connected to the title of the original page I tried to open, e.g.:
I try to open: www.holidaytruths.com
only to get a completely different site with a list of holiday search
results and options.
even when I try to open
WWW.whitestick.co.uk
I get another set of search options for screens, readers etc. This is
driving me nuts!
AVG states there is no virus in my pc.
Add aware runs daily and pronounces the pc clear of critical objects.
Spy wear blaster is up to date.
I even removed all cookies, temp files, temp internet files and blocked
some of the problem sites from installing cookies on my pc but the site still
managed to open in my internet explorer browser. They seem to associate a word
in the web site title and look for search options to match, tried to open the
national lottery site and got Vernons and other gambling sites!
Any thoughts?Any suggestions not involving petrol and matches would be
gratefully received!LOL!
Alistair
