4. What is that? The address looks right.
It's Reuters:AlertNet

And I can get in there just fine from another site. But I know nothing about computers.

12. it wasn't since it was a spelling mistake
but a browser hijack is when malicious code is sent to your computer so that you are sent to a site that spoofs the domain name (like alertnet.org) but in reality have a different IP adress. So you can think that you navigate to a certain site, but in reality is on another. It often modifies the start page, which sounded to be the case.

Everday I click through the Iraq Photo gallery on Yahoo and every day I see these poor women mourning their losses. Every american should be required to see the insanity these poor people are living with. Thanks to bushco**....

11. One the left side, pulldown menu:
"choose a crisis"

What a fine mess we humans have made of things.
