    Default help

    This is one for all the Tech Heads out there:
    Sometimes when I google something all I get is a website called Extratyper.com. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this? Thank you.

    I'd say you might have a wee virus there if its going to that site after you have clicked search in google.
    You should download and anti Virus sweeper.
    Because it may not be affecting anything now that you are using Firefox, its still there and means that you are not properly protected. And as you should know Protection is very important... in every sense.
    Try Advanced SystemCare by IObit Its very good and a free Download.
    If you want to upgrade to the Pro version send me a PM and I'll give you the username and password and instructions.- This gos for anyone else thats reading this

    You might have adware that has taken over your registry and is redirecting your homepage to this site.

    Default The most obvious and simplest explanation

    Anyone here of occam's razor, westie is probably right he may have clicked on a website and it changed his home page.
