I am having a problem with this site:
     http://www.onestepsearch.net/b.cgi?
With each search, I get http://www.onestepsearch....then I can't really get where I need to be.  When I am looking at my e-mail account and try to go to an actual mail or write an e-mail, my screen automatically goes to http://www.onestep  etc.

This is driving me crazy.   >:(  I don't know how to get rid of it.  Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, what can I do to stay away from ONESTEP?

   That sounds like a virus or spyware.  An anti-virus program should remove it.

This is caused by a BHO [browser helper object]. The site, you are being redirected to, is one of many possible. A complete list is included on this page, which also gives details on how to remove the BHO.
