Hi,
Another newbie i'm afraid .. and I seem to have a relatively common problem. When I click links I get redirected a very high proportion of the time. If I paste the link's URL into the address bar its ok. Seems I have some spyware / a trojan / somthing like that ?
I've run HijackThis, here is the log :
