    Can you post the log from the Malwarebyes scan (did you do a full or quick scan)?

    what toolbars have you got on your Browser??
    The "Yahoo" browser bar has a nasty habit of redirecting users away from some sites.

    Start your browser without any 3rd party tool bars and see what happens

    Since it found something, do a Full Scan with MBAM now.
    Why did you uninstall CCleaner, it's an excellent cleanup utility?

    Download this and save it to your desktop. It might give an indication of what you are infected with, should you have a rootkit.

    http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.exe

    When you've downloaded it...
    • Right click aswMBR.exe & choose "Run as Administrator" (Win7)
    • Click yes to the prompt to download Avast! virus definitions.
    • Set the AVscan to Quick Scan, & click the Scan button.
    • When the scan reports "Scan finished successfully", click Save log & save the log to your desktop.
    • Click OK when prompted. aswMBR.txt & MBR.dat will be appear on your desktop.
    • Click EXIT.
    • Copy & paste the contents of aswMBR.txt & post it here.
    Don't click to fix anything yet, just post the log.
