HELP!!!! Yahoo and Google search are not woking properly.?
-
Yahoo and Google search are not working properly. When I type in a search the search results dont match the hyperlink to the website. When I look at the actual website its something totally different. The weird thing is I go to my comcast home page and do a search (which is powered by google) and the search results are fine. I thought its was my IE so I downloaded the version 8. This did not help. So I did a full system scan with McAfee which found a few suspicious items such as possible Spyware/Adware. I also downloaded Spybot and ran a system scan. This found 138 items of which Spybot fixed. I cleaned my cookies, defraged and still the same thing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
