I keep getting redirected from CI to ad sites. I know there are problems with this computer, but I wonder if anyone else has had the same thing happen.

That's odd. Not me. Are you accidentally clicking on them?

Maria, thou havest a trojan within thy computer, and hast swift need of anti-virus thing-eth

Go buy Kaspersky. It is the best. But do not buy online whence thou havest a trojaneth, else thine hacxors will stealeth thy credit cardeth numerals, and thou havest thee a bad day.

If you're getting auto-directed anywhere, it's not from some professional ads on a professional website.

You must have some kind of malware on your PC. You normally can't get malware from just browsing the Web (visiting various non-porn websites w/ typical banner ads)

Are you by any chance using Windows XP after its April 15, 2014 end-of-life date and/or Internet Explorer?

Maria, you probably bought from Amazon without using Matthew's link?

I believe she is using Devian, so I would believe no needeth for Kaspersky. (Although I do concur with soulguard, and I've seen it be the most effective over the past few years for Windows users)
