   Latested Windows update now causes browsers to redirect me. Did it happen to you?
  So I'm virus-scanning my PC and getting all the latest updates for my software like a good little nerd should. Then Windows XP tells me the only way to get the new update was through Internet Exploder. Curses! Well, so I update that piece of garbage and get my updates... but ever since, my browsers ( both Mozilla and IE ) will randomly redirect to some site I never clicked on. Mind you, it is not a bad site but something random like "yellowpages.com" or a website on making boiled eggs. Weird stuff. Anyway, the bottom-left of my browser displays something like "search-tracker.net". I immediately think virus and scan my comp. Not a single threat.Haas this happened since your last update or is this just me problem? O.o   
  Sounds like spyware to me.   ;  That's nothing to do with Windows update. Your PC is infected with Spyware (not the same as a virus). You need an anti-spyware ap such as Spybot Search & Destroy.   ;  Could be this. Or anything with the same idea. Did you download "updates" from anywhere else than Windows Update?   ;  Yea mang, Microsoft always sends me my updates by e-mail too, and then requires me to download it from a shady looking website.
