View Full Version : Browser is possibly Hijacked

Ok, I'm running AVG antivirus, PCTools Spyware Doctor, and ZoneAlarm.... but for whatever reason, every now and then when I click a search result in google (could be a wikipedia page or whatever) I get taken to a random site.

Sometimes it's some strange "porn search" site, sometime it's IGN. Anyway, it'll keep doing that till it takes me to a google page saying "google/undefined doesn't exist" or something like that.

After it says that the same link (after hitting back) will take me to the site I wanted in the first place. So far it's happened to me trying to click on wiwiHow results in google, or wikipedia results in google, if that helps.

What is happening? PCTools can't find anything, Spybot can't find anything.
I tried running hijack this, but I can't see anything that's an obvious browser redirect.

What do I do?
