I ran a Google search (just to test) on 'flu symptoms' and when I clicked on the top link (which was...

The redirects seem to be (to my naive eye based on the Firefox history file) either Google ads or aggregator sites. Below is a sample (to the best I could assess from the History file) followed by...

Neither scan found anything (I didn't get a log from ESET, just an offer to purchase the software), below is the mbam log.
