    This happens to my cousin too and he has a mac!

    This happens to my cousin too and he has a mac! It also happens to my boyfriend, he has a pc. The exact same thing happens as does with you. The only thing they have in common is they have both just started using wireless internet, my cousin uses next doors (he's not supposed to be) and my boyfriend is using the shop below him, he has permission. Before he was using 3 mobile broadband and it never happened, and when he's not at home he uses it too and it never happens, it only happens when he uses the wireless broadband.

    Are you on wireless internet? I wonder whether the signals are being intercepted or something.

    They probably have something else in common - malware

    hi, i also had the same problem as the avobe ppl. Every time I google or yahoo something, (or use any other search engine) links are redirected, even if i use OPEN IN NEW TAB. So i followed the steps on one of your threads, I ran ATF Cleaner, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Highjackthis, and was unable to download SuperAntiSpyware Home Edition Free Version, so here I send you the log files. My question is what to do after this, should i just go on and manually remove all of the infected files?
