Another thing that might happen is you are using the right scroll bar to read and accidently click one of the Google advertisements. If your mouse has a wheel to scroll that might help to keep your finger off the trigger button

I think the latter may be it. I'll try and be more careful with my mouse. Thanks.

Simbo. It's not just you. I had a similar problem a little while back and asked the question here.

A couple of others noted that they had similar problems. At the time I thought it was related to my touch pad failing (started sending random clicks and opening all sorts of crud).

Touch pad is now disabled in BIOS, and I have a nice new Microsoft Wheel Mouse, I still occasionally (just occasionally) get redirected to a commercial (as far as I can tell it's the Google ad that appears at the top of the screen).

Now, I'm 99% sure I'm not accidentally clicking on an ad, I'm 100% certain I don't have a virus or unwanted adware.

This ONLY happens on TV. Whilst it's a bit of a bind and mildly annoying it's not really a major issue.

A quick click of the BACK button in your browser will get you back to TV and allow you to go in the intended direction.

:o I thought I was going click crazy until I read this thread. It has happened to me twice today. :D
