Rerouted in Internet Explorer (strange problem)
Hey,
I'm having a problem with one of my machines. Whenever the user opens internet explorer and tries to go to a website for example: theweathernetwork.com : he will be re-routed to another site.
If the user closes the rerouted site's window and then tries theweathernetwork.com again he will be directed to theweathernetwork.com
In other words; the re-routing only happens once; and even if you close IE it will not re-route you again until the following day.
I know this sounds a lot like spyware but malwarebytes didn't catch nor AVG.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

It does sound very strange. Normally I would say check the hosts file (windows->system32->driver s->etc), but that would always redirect. Sounds more like a registry key - spybot may find something like that and I'm unsure where it might be located.
