Angry How do I stop this

every once in awhile when I get into my e-mail account, my browser automatically jumps to another website. Why is this happening, and how do I make it stop?

Different computers? Same website or different websites? The emails are they newsletters or html types? Anyway try changing your email clients to recieve text emails only.

Would be well worth running either/or Spybot or Adaware, both of which you'll find in the downloads section on this site
