If you are seeing this page, your browser settings prevent you from automatically redirecting to a new URL.

Thats my problem. I was trying to help make my computer faster by cleaning up and cleaning out. I guess I did something I wasn't supposed to. How do I fix it? Windows Vista Basic

I'm no expert on these matters, but it's probably a security setting withing IE. I don't like or use IE so I can't make any good suggestions as to what settings to mess with.

I would however suggest downloading and using Firefox instead from now on. It's a more stable browser and is supposedly a lot more secure as far as viral infections and what not go.

If anything seeing if Firefox works will probably help identify whether or not it's a problem with your computer, or a problem with the browser. Hopefully. Hope this helps.
