Anyone getting redirected from Google when trying to search?

[gingeralbino]

started happening out of nowhere. I type in what I want to search, hit the search button, and it redirects me to generic web searches for random ****.

i think this was as easy as restarting in safe mode and running AVG and/or spybot fixed this for me but im not sure.

Try that anyway

Download this program FREE(the best one imo for these type of viruses, I had one a few weeks ago that I couldn't get rid of since it was blocking my other anti virus programs)

After you clean your computer if you never want to have this problem again get this add-on for firefox. FREE

It's a pain in the ass since you have to always allow for links to show up but it's better to spend 5 seconds allowing something then potentially getting another bad virus that can really **** up your day.


Other helpful add-ons for Firefox.

Also - Adblock plus add-on

I use all of those and I'm using a Mac, I don't get a sniff of a virus.
