This is a long shot Alistair, but take a look at your hosts
file in a text editor such as NotePad.
You will find the file at
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
It should look much the same as mine which follows my
signature.
DO NOT make any changes just yet. Just tell me if there is
anything other than shown below.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Internet Explorer behaving strangely
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
