You mean ***this link?***I don't see any car ad. If you're talking about a different gamespot link, copy/paste it into your message.

You may want to run Adware Free and see if you've got an issue with adware. Malwarebytes wouldn't hurt either.
Toolbars, and add-ins can also contain redirects - starting the browser in safe mode disables them. Does it behave the same way in safe mode?
Edit -
By all means, as Jenny says - post an exact link.

Yes, Jenny100, that is where I was trying to go. I have run Malwarebytes and no infections. AVG found 1, taken care of. Seems to be better. InlandAZ how do I check my toolbars and add-ins. Started computer in safe-mode and did not encounter the problem. What is a good free ad ware removal program? I appreciate your help. Found this in Programs "Advanced Performance Platform Revenstreaming" Does anyone recongnize this? Redirect appears to be gone now(knock on wood) but I would still appreciate information on ad ware removal.

InlandAZ how do I check my toolbars and add-ins. Started computer in safe-mode and did not encounter the problem. You don't want to start your PC in safe-mode, just your browser. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools - you'll find a shortcut to start IE in safe mode there. I'm assuming you're using IE - To view those currently active, click Tools, Manage Add-Ons (from your browser). One of te best I've seen for Adware is Adware Free, although it been quite some time since I've had to run it.

InlandAZ, I am running IE without any add-ons. I have never started IE in safe mode. When I click on the IE icon, I get a message telling me that IE is running without add-ons. Browser seems to be working fine now, but who knows what the future will bring. Geo and lazydazy, thank you for your suggestions. I will check them out.

how do I get IE to run in safe mode? On my Windows 7 machine, I do not get that choice. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools - Internet Explorer (No Add ons.)
