May 11, 201115 yr Something fishy is going on with my PC/internet.I am constantly getting to internet sites I do not want.It is most typical with google searches - for example I click on one of the google search results and instead of ending up on wikipedia I am redirected to some commercial site that sells airline tickets. The sites look legit but this is definitely not what I wanted.This problem did not exist say 2 weeks ago.Any ideas? Michael J.

May 12, 201115 yr I've always been a Spybot Search and Destroy guy myself. Though I haven't installed it since this computer build. Firefox (free) in conjunction with the "No Script" add on (free) and Microsoft's Security Essentials (also free) seem to be the strongest "approachable" combination. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
May 12, 201115 yr Author thanks, I am using combofix because I finally googled and got this page that shows how to do it step by step. But it is a much more complicated process than I and probably any of you thought, I am not bug-free yet.. By the way, I used all available Microsoft tools and none found anything bad on my PC.http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:D-gmxNJMSe4J:www.techspot.com/vb/topic161423.html+internet+unwanted+redirect&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com Michael J.

May 12, 201115 yr Author I think I fixed the problem. It took running TDSSKiller + ComboFix (the latter in the Safe mode). Michael J.
