Why are webpages are being redirected?

I'm being redirected to other websites while searching. I've run Norton and Avg but it didn't solve the problem. What do I do?

Seems like Malware give this a read.

comes up. I end up playing with it going back to where I was or trying to reload it and after a few tries it will let me go to the page i want and then it will do it again even if I'm not touching anything. What's going on? This has been happening a lot. I came to this page and it doesn't seem to be doing it with this but I can't say why. I've tried to search through the Q&A but haven't found anything so far.

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

My searches are being redirected to Google.

On the about config page It was set to a google search. I followed the notes I right clicked and picked reset. I do not know what I do to default my search back to Yahoo.com

Were you resetting the address bar search (keyword.URL)? Since the default is Google, you would need to paste in the URL for Yahoo. It's listed in this help article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-web-address-bar#w_changing-the-internet-keyword-service
Or if you have a Yahoo add-on, such as the Yahoo toolbar, it might be one of the add-on's options to take care of that for you.
Does that resolve it, or is the problem elsewhere?

Email redirection - not all emails being redirected

Running Exchange 2010
Set all emails from mailbox A to redirect to mailbox B but it is not working correctly. Mailbox A has several Aliases and one of them is a self generating email generated from itself to itself when someone makes an enquiry on their website.
For clarity the email alias in question is called sales, when someone submits a request on their website then sales sends an email to sales and it ends up in Mailbox A (IMO Sales should be its own mailbox as having it tagged onto a users mailbox who has holidays is not good practice). All other emails except the ones that go to sales are being redirected and I can't see why
Help?

Who is your email provider? I would check the settings for your email online (ie. Gmail settings). I would also go to the Mail menu- preferences and look through there in your account for anything that might be causing this.

The home page opens unfinished, keep being redirected to unwanted add pages.

When Firefox opens my home page ( Fox News ) the page doesn't finish. Some of the page is still in what I would call (code) and there are large blank spaces between articles.
When the home page is opening it often gets redirected to unwanted pages. If I right click on the green back arrow the word redirect is one of the lines there.
I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. No change.
I opened Fox News in Google Chrome and it loaded OK.

I'm not sure why you are being redirected but here are some thoughts:
(1) In case your preference for .us is stored in a cookie -- rather than an account setting -- try clearing cookies for the site (this likely will terminate your session, so save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* click the globe or padlock in the address bar > More Information > Security > "View Cookies"
* right-click the page > View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Any change when navigating from the home page?
(2) If you granted the site permission to access your location, turn that off. You can access site-specific permissions while viewing a page on the site using the Page Info dialog. Either:
* click the globe or padlock in the address bar > More Information > Permissions
* right-click the page > View Page Info > Permissions
* Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
(See screen shot regarding Location permission)
(3) If the site uses your preferred language to redirect, you could add en-GB and re-order your languages. However, this could lead to strange results on other sites. If you want to try it, access the Languages dialog from Content options here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content > Choose button

How do I stop people from being redirected from my organization's website to another with a similar address and copied content (not a problem on IE or Chrome)?

My organization's website is: www.wallingfordseniors.org
Many people when using Firefox are being redirected to another website (www.wallingfordsseniors.org) which has lifted our content verbatim. Even when typing in our address, people get sent to the other one. This other website is being operated by an unknown entity and the hosting company has no contact information we can find to send a DMCA violation letter to. Anyway to keep people from going to the other site? For now all the links are the same but we are concerned that they will mess with our link to submit donations and route money to themselves with our donors thinking they are giving to us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on how it's happening. For example:
* DNS Server glitch (OS or router level): however, you would expect the same result in all browsers
* Custom DNS/proxy setting in Firefox - users can check their connection settings as described in this article: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]] (network mini-tab under Advanced settings)
* Non-default search engine plugin -- if the user puts a space in the domain -- that doesn't display search results normally: user can make sure Google is selected
* Hijacked by a browser extension: user can try Firefox's Safe Mode
* Redirect hacked into your website (in .htaccess or a PHP/JSP/ASPX file under certain circumstances)
Once the wrong address is in Firefox's history, for example from making a typo once, users may find it hard to notice the difference when given autocomplete suggestions.
Hopefully you can track it down.

Websites being redirected to yandex.ru

I am having a problem as of yesterday. A lot of the websites I have been trying to visit have been redirected to yandex.ru. I am running Chrome on a 15" MacBook Pro with Lion. the sites that are being redirected are very random, but they consistently redirect. For example, MSN.com always loads fine, but trying to click on a link within msn.com from yardbarker.com redirects to yandex.ru.
It doesn't matter whether I access the sites through a search engine or directly on the google omnibox, the sites are always redirected before completely loaded. It is also consistent on other browsers (Safari and Firefox). I have cleared all caches, cookies, extensions, deleted extra search engines, etc, and I have tried using other DNS addresses provided by OpenDNS. None of those things worked.
I thought it might be a problem with my ISP. I am living in Jordan for work, so who knows what kind of potentially shady goings-on are happening, but I asked a friend using the same ISP and DNS addresses to check the sites I was having trouble with, and they loaded fine for him.
I have used ClamXav and MacScan 2, and no problems were reported. I reset my router to factory settings, and I am still having the same trouble. All of the devices we use on the local network are also being redirected. My wife's macbook, my iPhone, and our iPad are all being affected.
I am using a Wimax router through a 3.5G HSPA connection with an airport Extreme attached via ethernet to extend the signal. I tried to connect to the Wimax router directly and still had the same issue. I tried logging in as a guest, using Safari, and was redirected as well. Not sure what to do next.
Any counsel would be thoroughly appreciated.

Temporary solution proposed by zain technical support after a big fight over the phone... (works just fine)
Add yandex.ru to the List of blocked websites under the settings/options menu in the security section, this needs to be done for each browser you use. Whether ur cache is cleared or not, you will be able to avoid the sudden redirection to yandex. Your browser will show a notification that yandex has been blocked (it will block it three attempts of redirection, I took the three yandex.ru/*********** blocked sites and added them in full to the list of blocked sites under the security section in each and every browser on every single device accessing the hspa+ gateway)
My browsing is a **** lot easier now, speed though went a little down, not a problem for me as long as I can get things done)
Tech support promised a permanent solution the coming week.
I still haven't had the chance to try the VPN option. Will give it a shot and update the thread

Why are I being redirected everytime I click on a search link

When ever I click on a search link from my search results I am being redirected to some kind of ad or inappropriate website. This began this morning after Firefox installed it's updates
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

"4.0.50524.0" is probably the Silverlight plugin, so no need to remove it.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Why are 2 different date formats being used in thunderbird?

Hello
in the attachment you will see that the listing of emails (on the left) is shown using UK date format DD/MM/YY (that's what I want), however, the message content panel shows the date in the US format MM/DD/YY (I definitely do not want this).
Why are 2 different formats being applied in Thunderbird, and how can I get both to be UK DD/MM/YY please.
Many thanks
Lord Elpus

I should have said :
this is Thunderbird 31.6.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Image resent due to previous failure.

Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .
I believe the apple should be universal in all the products and a small island like Malts should have the same products for sale on ISTORE like of the UK and USA.

The iTunes and App stores are inherently different in different countries. Local laws on copyright and other limits on the distribution of intellectual property make it impossible for Apple to simply put everything in every store. Sometimes, the owner of the intellectual property does not allow it to be distributed everywhere. Keep in mind that Apple does not own the music, books, movies and such that they allow for sale in their store front, so they do not necessarily have any say in what may, or may not appear in what store.

Why are all my Widescreen ratio being displayed in 4:3?

Hi all,
I just bought my Apple TV and All was well until I synced my photos. All my photos have the dimension of 2592x1944 (jpegs), they're all landscape.
After suncing them to Apple TV, I go to the "Photos" menu and View these photos, they show up with black bars on both left and right side of them, much the same as SD TV shows.
The weird part is that when I turn on "Ken Burns" effect the photos fill the whole screen. ***!
I hope I'm not doing something, because why would I want to see my HD (or Widescreen) photos in a 4:3 ratio? Didn't Steve Jobs in the Keynote say that we want to see out photos in HD on our Widescreen TVs and Apple TV will do that for us?
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance,

I suspect that your photos are being displayed in 4:3 ratio because 2592x1944 is 4:3 ratio.
