The other day I stupidly clicked on this link which purported to show a video of the LHC startup (how much of a nerd does THAT make me?):
Link removed
I was prompted for a Flash update which I stupidly assented to all the while thinking, "something's not quite right."
Soon after I noticed that google search result links in Firefox were being redirected to various commercial sites. I switched to Chrome which didn't have a problem at first but soon developed the same problem If I requested that the link open in a new tab there was initially no redirect, but now it opens multiple empty tabs as well as the link and sometimes crashes Chrome.
I was running AVG internet security (the pay version) at the time of the initial infection. Adaware, Malwarebytes etc. failed to find anything. I now have Kaspersky internet security installed and it has found nothing on the scan.
My Hijack This log is below and also attached. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
