Hi guys - was hoping that with the other few thousand people that you might have some time to fit me in. I am having the same problem as alot of users that when I am using my search bars my computer gets redirected to whatever site someone else is choosing. If you could provide some help/any help with specific instructions (because I am not that computer smart) it would be appreciated.

I didn't know what to copy and paste - or from where I get it, or else I would have done that for you.

It appears that this issue is resolved, therefore I am closing the topic. If that is not the case and you need or wish to continue with this topic, please send me or any Moderator a Personal Message (PM) that you would like this topic re-opened.
