Greetings. Recently I got one of those fake "virus scanner" viruses that won't allow you to open any programs because it blocks with a warning about it being a virus. I fixed that no problem. But soon after I noticed almost every time I click a link in a google search result it redirects me to a site completely different of that whats was the search link. And I also get random pop-up tabs from time to time.
I have tried Malware Bytes, AVG, CCleaner, and Ad-Aware. Nothing seems to work. I use FireFox primarily, but even IE has this problem. I have tried re-installing both to no avail.
Can someone please help me. It doesn't seem like a dangerous virus/adware. But it is annoying.
Thanks so much. I'm not sure if this is how you go about getting help on these forums, so if I have done something wrong just let me know and I will correct whatever is needed. Thanks again.
