dlinksearch problem... please help

Ok here is the problem.

When I do a search and get a list of results. I click on one of the links and it redirects to a www1.dlinksearch.com website and then I never get to the site I was trying to go. Here is an example of the dlinksearch url it redirects to - http://www1.dlinksearch.com/main?url=www.cheaptickets.com

And then it never takes me to the cheaptickets website. Instead it takes me to another search results page that on the upper right states Powered by Yahoo.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Hi and welcome sandy0344....

Your ISP is redirecting you when you surf the web.

The best way to avoid redirects is to use OpenDNS. It's free, includes anti phishing filters and adds security.

Information here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1660439

Open System Preferences - Network then select the Advanced tab. Select the DNS tab.

Click + then type in these numbers: 208.67.222.222

Now click + again, type inthese numbers: 208.67.220.220

Click OK. Restart your Mac.

Carolyn 🙂

I am having the same issue but DNS din't help.

Is this happening because I am using D-Link router?
