It reminds me of a problem that I was able to solve using the help of bleepingcomputer.com and malwarebytes.org forums. I don't remember the name of the issue, but I do remember the search redirection.

Basically, the fix involved the rkill, gmer, and mbam tools at the least. If you search from a safe computer for your issue and go by the instructions at either of those forums, you will be in good hands. I want to hear how it goes.

Hi,

I went though an evening of struggling with viruses that took over two computers. I've removed everything and am back to normal.... almost.

I have some kind of virus I am not able to identify and have no idea how to search for a fix.

What is happening, is on occasion, when searching google, and I click on a link I am routed to some unrelated sales site. The destination is rarely the same site. And sometimes the site I am re-routed to will not let me backup so I have to close the tab and start over.

Anyone have any idea what I might be dealing with here?

Thanks!
