Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

I seem to have the same problem as many other here.

clicking on search engine results redirects me to other locations.

I ran rkill and Malawarebytes - found some trojans and removed them but problem persists
ran Ad-ware and Spybot - both found and removed things but problem persists.

running windows xp on IBM laptop

thanks in advance for any help
