Hi
I'm using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8.
When I do search engine searches and even visiting reputable sites I often get sudden redirects to a host of websites - usually bogus security websites and other nonsense. It's truly annoying.
And it appears that there are still hacks out there that get around the best defenses that Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Windows Defender has to offer.
Is there a setting in IE8 that simply tells the browser to ignore redirects? Where is it and how do I use it?
I'm also curious how hackers can get around all these defenses. Especially Norton Internet Security. I really thought Norton Internet Security would protect against things like this. Or is IE8 full of security holes and I'm better off with a different browser. If so, what's a good secure browser to use?
