My browser keeps redirecting me!?
-
My browser (Firefox 3) keeps redirecting me to something else when I click on links from Google and Bing. I saw many solutions for this problem, but only for Windows XP and 2000 users. I have Windows 7. Can anyone help me?

You definitely have the Google Redirect Virus. This changes genuine links from results in Google, Bing and any other major search engine, and redirects them to advertising websites. You will need a special type of software since normal anti virus cannot detect it. I recommend using ComboFix as this will remove the virus fully from your system and restore the broken system files and the virus damaged. You can use this tutorial, which should work for you: http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/spyware/how-to-remove-the-google-redirect-virus/
try to install malwarebytes from malwarebytes.org and run it. You may have spyware.
Sounds like you have a virus. DO A SCAN IMMEDIATELY !!
