How do I fix Google from being auto-redirected to an ad site?

every time i go to google.com, the web browser I use, MyIE2, auto-redirects me to sitesure, some ad site. Does anyone know how to fix this?

also, please don't just say "use firefox" or another browser, I'm interested in fixing the problem in MyIE2.

It appears that if you have a Google Ad-On called "This day in history" is a rouge Add-On and is hijacking browsers to the suresite.com site.

When you launch your Google iPage, before you get redirected, click on the REDX

Red X on Internet Explorer just to the right of the address bar, Firefox beneath History & Bookmarks. Once you stop the page locate the Ad-On "This Day in History" and delete it. Restart your browser, go to your iPage and you should be cured, if not follow the procedures below.

As of this writing the only way to sure this ill until Google removes this Ad-On, is to download Spybot Search and Destory, (see link below) and run it. I would advise your anti virus is up to date, if this does not resolve your issue visit link 2 below.

If you infected try the solutions I have provided here and inform me if it helps or not

You have a browser hijacker infection, see link below for removing this garbage from your PC.

I don't know, but I'm using Firefox right now and am having the same problem. I'm justing answering so I can check back later. Kay, thanks!

My friend had this issue too.

He fixed it by making a shortcut to google.com on his desktop, and clicking on that instead of the shortcut to the browser's .exe file.

He was using IE7, but i'm pretty sure it will work for you too if myIE2 is set as your default browser.

Go to Control Panel: Network & Internet: Internet Options: Internet Properties: General: Homepage: in box under homepage type one website that you want to open each time you start your computer...for example: if you want Yahoo to open...type: www.yahoo.com
good luck

i think u have spyware...try running an antivirus or anti spyware software..it will delete it

Don't worry, your computer isn't infected with anything. One of your Gadgets - "This day in history" is auto forwarding you google page. When you go to google, click the red x (stop button) before it forwards you. You can then remove "this day in history" and you'll be set.

One of the google applets has had its page hijacked and that is what is causing the source of the redirection.

It started happening to me about 9 am. I've tried 2 different machines (one Windows PC, one OS X Mac).

The infected applet appears to be `This Day In History`. If I turn off javascript and go to the google.com/ig page, thats the only applet that doesn't display.

You have to remove the applet from your google home page.

Thank you thank you thank you everyone for having figured this out! I was getting quite annoyed! It took me a few tried to get it to stop before moving on, but it's fixed now. This Day in History is HISTORY! :)

Found this on another forum. If you are using Google as your homepage, click stop before it redirects you to sitesure.com and then delete the "this day in history" tab if you have it. Someone on another board noticed that it was on the sitesure.com page. It worked for me.
