links, drop downs and new tabs not being allowed

newmee

Hi all, Hope one of you will be able to advise me on a problem I seem to have developed in the past few days.

I am able to connect to internet fine, as usual HOWEVER when I go to open a new tab it says not able to open website (does try) the same thing happens when I click a link in any email or site (trusted) and when I go to choose options in a drop down menu it kicks me off the internet immediately. Also when I have gone onto google it's almost as if it re-directs me to some obscure search/listing site.

I am able to visit different sites by only using one page at a time.

I have defrag'd and disk cleaned recently.

Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation. :beer:

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 QUICK SCAN then click SCAN
Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
If anything was found then do the exact same but run a FULL scan


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)
If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin)
