I think my computer is infected with spyware. Every time I browse with Firefox and Internet explorer via Google I am redirected to completely irrelevant adverts. This happens approximately 50% of the time while I am browsing. I have ran Firefox in safe mode and scanned with various anti-virus/malware programs but the problem still persists. Strangely though, I have not been redirected whilst using Google Chrome. At first I though this may have been an issue with some of the web browsers I have been using however I was using the internet on my mobile phone and I got redirected to a similar ad site on my home network. Perhaps the problem lies with my service provider? I have also tried countless reinstalls of my operating system (Windows 7) but unfortunately this hasn't solved the problem to my surprise. I'm getting very frustrated now as Firefox is the browser I like to use for every day tasks. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have much respect for what you experts on here do!

(I have a Dell Inspiron 1750 Laptop, if this helps)

Hello Chris17,

Please see the sticky which includes guidelines for this forum and also instructions in post #2 on how to provide preliminary "DDS" logs which are used for analysis.
"BEFORE You POST"(Please read this Procedure Before Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Then start a new topic providing the DDS logs as shown in that FAQ and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available. :)

Best regards.
