I've tried the solutions offered for search engines redirecting to cowboy site - checking for malware etc, and used add-ons to prevent redirection and site blocking but no good. The problem is that every so often (usually once or twice a day), even when the computer is idle or often on start-up, the page I'm on is redirected (or wants to be, but isn't due to add-ons) to the home page of my ISP (true-visions Thailand). My home page is set as google.co.uk/ig. If I allow the page to be redirected as it wants, I can immediately re-click on the page I was on/wanted to go to and I am there with no problem. It's a nuisance more than a serious problem, but I can't seem to fix it. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, You need to talk to your ISP.

Hopefully it's something they've set up to help you remember them- because if it's not it's quite likely you've got a virus. Do a full scan to check.
