Somewhere along the line I have gotten "infected" by some porn site redirection bug (probably through my son's surfing), anyway, I can be surfing or searching
for something and I get sent to a porn site. Any ideas where they have hidden this little bug? And how do I get rid of it?

First thing you need to do is scan for viruses.

Sounds like Junior hasn't been practicing safe-cybersex.

Try AdAware - "Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility, that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely." - Quoted from the Lavasoft site. Since you're downloading stuff, might as well download Zone Alarm [free for personal use], it's a firewall incase you don't have one yet. Other stuff you might want to try are, Internet Cleanup [free trial], AdSubtract [free for personal use] & PestPatrol [free trial version] - you can learn more about what these do at their respective websites.
