Hi, I've noted lots of people with problems like mine, but not exactly. I have a few concerns:

1)Sometimes when I click on a weblink, I get sent to some Umaxsearch.com page, and then I click "back" and click it again and everything works. Pretty annoying.

2)Certain words on webpages generate links to go buy products. Is this supposed to happen on sites (including this one)?

Don't know about other Sites but clicking any Link anywhere is entirely optional
