website redirected

cherylwales

Hiya, not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but when I type "money saving expert" into google and then click on the link to this site, I am being automatically redirected to different money related sites advertising loans etc that look a bit dodgy. this happens even when i click on the google results link with a green tick beside it and the "looking for Martin Lewis..." quote. (I'm on here now by clicking through a link in the weekly email sent to me). It's never done this before, can anyone help and tell me why its doing this and how to stop it?

Before RIK appears

Download and run HijackThis and MalwareBytes, then post the results up here

dogmaryxx

Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ma..._anti_malware/
Open malwarebytes and go to UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated go to SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER you have deleted everything it finds

reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
