Sounds like you have some sort of adware/malware infection that's hijacking and redirecting your browser.

Try a scan with Malwarebytes first and see if that works. If not you'd probably want to start a thread in our Intensive Care forum for further checks.

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

And do not click on the install/OK button on that redirect site.

thanks for advice, I hit on the free version
but Ive ended up with a window...

you re free trial has expired

looks like that is pay only now

Im generally in a mess though, my comp is prob 6 years old,

Im on XP which seems to be affecting my f fox browser.... it seems
very vulnerable for this type of thing....

Malwarebytes will still run manual scans. The paid version runs when windows starts but that isn't necessary for you to run it now and see if it can get rid of this particular issue.

And yes, XP is now a liability for security issues but odds are that whatever you picked up in this case may have happened with newer windows versions as well.

You probably chose the free trial instead of the free version when you did the install. Same install, but different choices. Like Fink said, it will still do manual scans.
