  • Why do search engines keep redirecting me?

    Hello everone,

    This matter is rather upsetting as everytime i type something in the search engine bar of any site be it google or yahoo and the results would come up fine but as soon as i clicked a result the page would redirect me to some phony spam like page, here is a link to where it redirects me:

          You've been hijacked!
          Try HijackThis http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-...-10227353.html

          Carefully look through the report it makes and fix only things that aren't needed. It doesn't discriminate and you could possibly screw up some legitimate applications and settings with it. But you can disable most BHOs and pretty much anything to do with IE except for the entry for your real home page to get the search redirect fixed.

            Unless you know what you're doing, always submit a HJT log to experts!

            Avast will only find viruses, not malware/spyware. Download something like Spybot for that.

                        The problem continues to exist despite the actions of Spybot as well as Avast. I got this after typing a term in google i clicked a link it redirected me here:
