Can anyone shed any light on this?? Its getting me down big time....
Hasn't always done it, only started recently.

Without warning or explanation, every time I go to search anything - and I mean ANYTHING! - on Google, it takes me straight to "Monster Market Place". It will not let me go "back" however hard I try so I have to come out completely. I try again - and the same, and again, and ............ I cannot search anything on Google. Why is it doing this and what can I do to put it right? Anyone? Please.......
Failing that, anyone got a hammer???very mad frustrated

It says "delete files" not "delete cookies". Do I click on there? What does it take me into? Or does it just delete right away on click? I don't want it deleting all my files, do I?? I am scared.....

What I am most worried about is losing vital stuff or ending up erasing any virus protection kinda thingy that I have, is this likely??
