I don't know what is infected my machine

Hi,

After clicking on google search results I get redirected to sites such as "britannia search" "the click checker" "know seach" etc etc. Sometimes this happens on the first search result and sometimes on the second or third search result.

I currently am using Firefox (which I removed and reinstalled when this happened), but it also occurred when I switched back to IE.


I have Norton 360 installed but it can't pick anything up
I have scanned to no avail with malwarebytes, sophos anti rootkit, super antispyware, hijack this

but the redirection still occurs.

Any ideas as to what is causing this, where it came from, and what I can do about this?



Thanks in advance,

Barry

This sounds like either a bit of malware or a simple hosts file issue , please download and install malwarebytes free edition

Thanks Matt,


I tried Malwarebytes a few days ago, and I updated it through your link before trying it again.

It came up with a few trojans and about twenty worms that hadn't been on it Sunday.

Unfortunately, the problem hasn't gone away and I was redirected to the same sites after clicking on my third google result this morning.




Regards

Barry

Hi Matt,

I don't know if this helps. It is the log from my last scan from Malwarbytes. The redirection problem remains unfortunately!


thanks,

Barry
