Hi
I have an intermittent problem with google redirecting to ad pages or other search engines.
I ran scans with:
Avast
cwshredder
superantispy
malwarebytes antimalware
Thought the problem was gone but somes back every few uses.
Any ideas please - have very limited tech knowledge.
Thanks.

Do you have the latest log of malwarebytes? Did you scan with the latest definitions (4196) and latest version (1.46) of malwarebytes? If not, please do so and post log here. If you have done the above, please post log here. Instructions below by alienRIK:
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ma..._anti_malware/
Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/2894/
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)0 -
Thanks
Malwarebytes was 1.45 so will update and do as you suggest.0 -

When you say you thought the problem had gone did you scan with Malwarebytes before and did it find any viruses and remove them?
If it did could you possibly post the Malwarebytes log file showing the viruses that were removed also the same for Superantispyware, it just givesus an idea of what viruses you had before and are still causing problems.0 -
The newer version is indeed better I think for hijackthislog.
Will find a link for you to post it on. Edit: rapidshare!
And please do as fiddiweb said too.0 -

No, Malware scans hadn't found anything.
superantispy did find somethings - think it was tracking cookies??0 -
checked malwarebytes logs over last few months - all clear, except this one and I can't remember whether I had this problem then
