    Help

    The school i go to has a small computer lab, and it seems like all the computers there, as well as the ones at the reception desk and the office, have some sort of a browser hijack bug on them. I've cleared them all of spyware and viruses, but when i open a browser (any browser) and do a google search for example, and click on a link, half the time im taken not to the website in the link, but to some adware site and spam. And every link opens in a new tab for some reason, and this is annoying as well. Any ideas?

    Check the router's DNS settings. If need be, completely reset the router and set it up again.

    Ok will try that, thanks :) How would the router's DNS be able to mess with the browsers like that though?
