What in the HELL is "Groupon" and why I am I being redirected to it

[Dawson Leery]

when searching for videos? :wtf:

1. Groupon is some kind of coupon dispersing deal

2fers at restaurants for a price, 60% off salon services, that kid of thing.

2. Are you being redirected when you search for other items ?

(and not just to Groupon)

I had this happen to me a while ago and it turned out I had a virus (or worm?). My friend's husband, the computer expert, had an awful time getting it off my laptop and thought he was going to have to reimage the thing.

3. It appears that you have a redirect virus. Go to ...

www.bleepingcomputer.com

and read about how to remove it from your system.

4. Thank you. I called my brother and he told me how to take care of this.

5. Okay, good. But keep that web address because it is a good (free) resource

for other computer issues as well.
