Updated after running 8 steps
________________________
Folks,
I'm hoping you can help me here.
As of a few days ago, whenever I use Firefox and search in Google and click the results I'm redirected to some random site. For example, I search on Mitsubishi and click on a Mitsubishi result and get redirected to Nationwide Insurance. This usually goes for 1-3 times after which I can then click on a Google result and go direct to it.
Additionally, my AVG protection didn't seem to recognize the internet anymore. I pulled the latest version and when it tried to update it didn't find my Internet connection.
I've run the 8 step guide
1. Removed AVG. Installed and ran Avira. Would not update even though internet open and Windows firewall turned off. Logs attached.
2. Installed and ran CCleaner v2.19.900 three times
3. Real Time monitoring off. No P2P programs.
4. Installed and ran Anti-Malware. Would not update even though internet open and Windows firewall turned off. Log attached.
5. Installed and ran Super Anti-Spyware. Update worked. Log attached
6. Updated Java from v5 update 6 to version 6 update 13
7. Ran HijackThis v2.0.2. Log attached.
8. Turned back on Avira monitoring.
I would appreciate any suggestions
Thanks
I had not run the 8 steps in advance - corrected now
thanks
