    Whenever I try to go to Gmail.com on any browser it doesn't go and whenever I try to search on Google it sends me to google.com/#. Anyone know what's wrong?

    Try using Internet Explorer.

    Although I have absolutely no problems, even I use Firefox.

    Are you sure your browser is not corrupted or something?

    How can it be corrupted? I just downloaded FireFox not too long ago. Not even 24 hours ago.

    Have you recently downloaded anything via Bittorrent, P2P or anything from websites lately? If you have you may try running anti virus, becuase all of your browsers are doing the same thing. You could have a virus.

    I downloaded bunches of music from Limewire and Bearshare so you're saying I need to get me a nti virus program and that might fix it?

    It has the potential. You probably are going to have to try all options with what has happened. I suggest googling adaware, microsoft anti virus, and spybot search and destroy.

    yeah, this maybe a result of virus or spyware.

    Do you have any protection measures like antivirus or firewall?

    Someone had the same issue as you in another forum. The cause: spyware/adware.

    Just run a full scan with each program I'll list here. And remove whatever they discover. You could run the programs in safe mode, just to make sure that you will get rid of all the spyware.

    Here's the list of anti-spyware programs:

    Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition 1.06
    Spybot Search and Destroy v1.4
    AVG Anti-Virus (It's a free anti-virus, a good one)
    CCleaner (Just cleans some of the crap in your comp)

    Ok, I'll run them and see what happens.
