    Can someone please tell me why on both of my parents computers when clicking windows update it takes you to Google.com. I went to microsoft's website and went to their updates that way and had the same issue.

    When I googled it, I got the answer "malware", so I installed malware bytes and ran it... removed 30 malware infections and still have the same problem.

    THank you!

    I completely re-installed windows. Deleted partition, formatted the drive in NTFS and installed Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Upon completion of the windows install, the redirection to google is still present. How could that be possible? When you delete the partition and format the drive... doesn't that erase Everything ?
