Hello, everytime I click on a link provided by a search engine such as Yahoo and Google, it redirects me to an ad site. I noticed on the bottom on the explorer that it says something about www.info-feed.com before getting redirected. I am currently using the Firefox browser and I have checked Internet Explorer as well and the same problem is evident for both browsers. If anyone could please help me, I'd really appreciate it! This problem is really bugging me!! :thumbup2: I have attached the HijackThis log to this post..

Thank you!!
