Google Links Redirected

[Saxondale]

Hi,

I've started getting google links redirected to various random search pages and lists of other links regarding my original search.

I've run AntiVir and Spybot, neither have picked up anything, but the problem still persists.

I've run HJT and my log is pasted below. Looking on other forums, none of the usual things that cause this appear in the log, so I'm unsure what the problem is.

I'd be grateful for any help with this.

Thanks in advance!

Apprantly you missed this forum's prominent sticky faqs.

"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Posting additional comments or logs before a volunteer responds, can push you back instead of forward, because your thread ends up with a newer date. In addition helpers would think you are already being assisted because of the post count. For that reason we may merge such posts if there is time but please do not count on it.

HJT Logs
To produce a log, run Trend Micro (http://forums.spybot.info/vbglossar.php?do=showentry&item=Trend+Micro) HijackThis 2.0.2, not Beta, HijackThis v1.99.1. or any other version. The Waiting Room: Post here if waiting for help longer than four days (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=37)

By the way, high view counts on a topic means little, members looking for similar problems will count as a view. Even people using search engines. It does not mean you have been ignored.

Please do remember the people assisting users in this forum are volunteers who give freely of their time and a lot of it. Not only do they help people at several sites but the art of malware removal demands they spend time constantly updating their own knowledge. Malware authors heat up the ante daily. This is not a shop so please don't make impatient "service" demands to these good folks. ;)
Regards.
