Help me with this annoying IE issue

[TranceNation]

Here's my current problem with IE that started happening a couple of weeks ago for some unknown reason.
When I goto some sites that have links (like yahoo), when I click on that link, the page will not load up, instead it gives me an error message. checking the html, I noticed that it goes through a redirector of some sort like this:

http://rd.yahoo.com/finance/externa...o&guid={622761C6-A529-4706-8CAD-87873BEEFFE8}

noticed the 'http://rd.yahoo.com/finance/external/cbsm/*' part, I have to delete this in the broweser address bar and then load up the page without it and it works,
anybody know how to resolve this?
thnx

this isn't a problem with IE... those sites are intentionally linking like that

yeah but it works on other browsers I use (netscape) and an IE that I have on another machine, just can't figure out why it's not working on this one, plus I didn't have this issue earlier on this machine, just started happening since the last couple of weeks

Not to be a simpleton, but did you try deleting your cookies and clearing your temp files and history? Couldn't hurt.

Looks more like a security tab setting, maybe you need to reset security to defaults.

[EDIT]The following is a different problem but I'll leave it here anyway[/edit]
I was having problems sort of like that and nobody could help me. (Kept getting redirected to strange websites). Thought it was adware/spyware crap, but nope. Tried tons of stuff. Eventually, found out that on the one machine I had DNS enabled and a host name assigned. That was some how redirecting my pages in IE, don't know how or why, but, it was.

Disabled DNS/Hostname and problems went away.

If it works for you let me know.

Yeah, that *could* be a security setting (rejecting the cookie once could put it in the 'restricted' zone; or,
if you have changed your hosts file to eliminate ad sites, that could be the problem....

*shrugs* I know some spyware *cough* Morpheus *cough* does that to get cash from its redirectors ... but that doesn't look like any pay-tag site.
