Search engine hijack

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Having problems using either Yahoo or Google search recently. I'll go to search an item and a results page will come up. But when I click on a result it will redirect to a spam page unrelated to my search.

I ran Ad Aware which only found cookies and deleted them. I ran Symatec and all it found was one tracking cookie. I'm currently in the middle of a Malwarebytes scan but so far it hasn't picked up anything.

HELP!!! This is annoying.

1. Seems to be a browser problem, without knowing which, save your bookmarks(favorites) by the export

function for your browser and then remove and reinstall or just switch to another browser and import the saved bookmark files.

2. You've definitely got a hijacked browser

If Malwarebytes doesn't find anything, try SuperAntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com. It's my tool of last resort, and seems to do a good job of finding and removing some of the tougher malware.
