I go on a search engine such as google or yahoo and type a subject, everytime I click on one of the links that comes up it diverts to something totally random. Any ideas?

I have done a malware search and a spyware search but it still happens

 

never heard of that mate

 

Have a look in your hosts file (C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) The only active setting should be 127.0.0.1 localhost I believe. You will see others with a # in front # 192.168.0.1 blah blah ignore these.

 

Hi mate, yes 127.0.0.1 localhost is the only one showing after the examples

 

Malware by the sounds of it. Get a copy of Avast Antivirus (free) and give yourself a good scanning.

 

Sorted, cheers pal

 

Mines the same any ideas

 

I have AVG antivirus, superantispyware and malware bytes and non of them got rid. I downloaded avast antivirus and it worked, took a while to scan though, but all is good again

 

yeah avast is very good. Avg turned crap a long time ago

 

where did you download it from as mine does the same got to click back onto say google then reclick on search page .
