This is my first post and in my desperation i turn to the people at major geeks=D usually i fix most problems myself but this one has just won... for now
When ever i open a page in internet explorer another one will open loading up a random page, and when ever i use firefox every so often a tab will open up automatically also with a random page loading up they are mostly different so would be hard to say what it exactly is trying to load but i hope you guys can help me out here with this one.:confused

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
