Trouble Shooting

When I go to the WFS login page, why am I transferred to another search engine
page, for example "ask.co.uk" or "ask.jeeves"?

A program is installed on your pc if you use programs such as KaZaA, Grokster and iMesh. These programs install a program called Common.com or Common.Name on your machine. Common.com redirects your PC to other search engines.

To remove:
Double Click on My Computer
Double Click on Control Panel
Double Click on Add/Remove Programs
Click to high-light Common.com or Common.Name
Click the Add/Remove button.

Select Start
Select Shutdown....
Select Restart
