    Now im not 100% sure if this is the right place for this thread as im not really sure whats causing my problem, but here goes anyway.

    Recently, when using Google, the links that it supplies leads me to ad sites. Kinda like im just getting automatically re-directed to these sites and im not sure whats caused it all. I ran SB S&D, Ad-aware and AVG today and nothing has changed. If you follow the link below you'll see what the site looks like that im re-directed to. Or perhaps you shouldn't, not sure if this will give you the same problem...

    Any suggestions as to how I should deal with this? If you need more info just let me know.

    Cheers,
    Harpoon.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifAfter doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below thread to properly use HijackThis and attach the log:

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis
    • Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around..
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifWhen you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
    • CounterSpy Log - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
    • AVG Antispyware Log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy. - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
    • Bitdefender Log - from step 6
    • Panda Scan Log - from step 6
    • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
    • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
    • HijackThis Log
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs![/FONT]
