I am not able to watch a tv show (ex. off of globaltv.com) without the site redirecting to a yahoo page.

I am trying to watch a episode online that I have missed. I am able to go to the page, though when I click the play button the browser directs me to another page. I have attached a copy to this message of the page I am redirected to. Please help me fix this. My home page is Google. I rarely use yahoo.

Hi

Whilst I cannot see the attached images, I have looked at extra system details you have provided and I think I can see what the problem might be.

It sounds like the solution is very similar to this earlier question. I recommend you follow the same steps to solve it, in particular, possibly removing the "searchme" extension.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
