    Just realised that it might have been a good idea to reboot before panicking!

    Will try that and let you know

    *fingers crossed*

    OK, tried rebooting and I'm still getting the redirects :(

    Does this mean it's worse than I thought?

    means it worse that I thought as on a look at the logs its removed everything , and its still happening

    try this

    http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispyware.html

    the free blue button , and post that log

    To retrieve the removal information ( the log )after reboot, launch SUPERAntispyware again.
    • Click Preferences, then click the Statistics/Logs tab.
    • Under Scanner Logs, double-click SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log

    Can you actually access the Google site if you type in Google.com? (Just checking in case you are doing it through a toolbar or such like).

    Hello Browntoa,

    Sorry to barge in on this, if you could remember spending a lot of time on my malware issue with Saqib. I eventually used the above and it cleared all the craps that redirects and stop me from downloading anti virus.

    That piece of software works magic.

    Tripled - Google.com does have the redirects as well as the toolbar. I also tried google.co.uk

    Would it be worth removing the toolbar?
