That's not normal.
Are you using a laptop where one of the touch-pad options is double-tap to select? Sometimes those are so sensitive that if you leave the cursor on a link accidentally, it will actually send you there with a slight movement. Mine does that on the regular.

hey stinkyattic, i am using a laptop but i use a mouse. it just happened 3 times trying to reply to this. i don't get it. it doesn't do this anywhere else. hummm, somethings up....... maybe it's cause i use a mac, LOL!!!

i use a mac, and if i'm not logged in, the same thing happens to me, if i log in, it's fine.

It's worth running some anti spyware software there might be a little file lurking in your PC sorry your Mac LOL that is directing you to various other sites, just a thought.

Ophistello it sounds as if Nightcrewman is right on the money.:thumbsup:
Not sure about Macs but PCs are infected by adware that does exactly what you describe. Trendmicro has a free online scan for malware it also will remove it free of charge. This is not a promo for them, they are just one I have used and I know from experience it works.

thanks, i did a complete virus scan last night and the problem is solved.
