Solve : My Control key is hijacked!?

Answer»

I accidently landed on some scum spam site and now every
time I use my control key to access a link on a webpage this other site pops up with their stupid directory.

Then I have to hit the back button on top of the pop up to
access the web page I originally wanted to see.

I can not figure out how to get this off my computer or off
my control key feature.

Can anyone give me some advice on this annoyance?

Thanks,

PeterWhat website is this? Use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. I can visit any website (with few additional security features) and never obtain any spyware or accept more data than I need. And yet I can get everything done what IE can?

how to get rid of it beside using firefox.
