Is there any link between yahoo and google?

Every time I search Google/Yahoo, I'm redirected to a spam link.?

  • Say I search for a band name. Lots of legit links will pop up (. Ex. Wikipedia, MTV...) but when I click on the link it takes me to some spam page, real estate, shopping, ect. I started yesterday on yahoo, so I went to google and after a few searches there it happened too. I'm not getting popups, I did a virus scan...Should I try reinstalling firefox? Is there any REALLY thorough virus scan you can get for free? (I have AVG, and have run it twice)

  • Answer:

    Download Spyware Doctor form Google pack: http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer.html or MalwareBytes from download.com: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button Scan your computer with the chosen program. Likely it is Google redirect virus. If so, then these programs will remove it.
