Ever since I began using a wireless internet connection, certain websites I try to access, mainly Hotmail and a particular message board, will not load properly and I will be directed to a site called My Web Search. The site I wish to access is listed on the search site, but even when I click on the link, I am taken back to the My Web Search page. This happens a few times a day for no apparent reason - the sites that do this are not down, otherwise I would get the "This page cannot be displayed" message. After a few tries, I can usually get through to the site, but I don't quite get why I'm take to that search site.

I don't think this is any kind of adware because my computer routinely checks my system automatically for adware and spyware files and removes them.

Does this sound strange? Any thoughts on this? Any help would be very much appreciated :)
