Cannot access my demo site

Hi, I am new to wordpress and using Treehouse as I have limited knowledge and want to improve but I have an issue and if anyone is kind enough to answer, please could you dumb down the answer for me please.

I have been doing some wordpress basic stuff with menus and widgets, themes etc so very early days. Well when I go to the address of my site on my local server (http://wpdemo1.dev/), it is redirecting to Yahoo with https://uk.search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hspart=gt&hsimp=yhse-gt&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwpdemo1.dev%2F&type=216107

I have no idea whatsoever why I cannot get to the site nor the admin log in or dashboard. I have changed nothing at all.

If you are using xampp or mamp you need to place localhost in your url. http://localhost/wpdemo1.dev. Otherwise you can use your local ip address that is configured through mamp or xampp.
