Been fighting a problem on my home computer all week end. It got a fake AV virus last week, used Malwarebytes to clean up and it seemed fine, until every once in a while a random adware site would open in a new browser window. Then noticed that when I did a google search the correct results would be displayed on google's page but when you click on them you are redirected to more of theses random adware sites trying to sell you security software and misc other junk. Since this is going on those sites will install more malware and I've done several scans with Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials and they always clean up everything except what ever is causing the redirects in Google.
Getting really frustrating! Any good suggestions on what to try for scan software to try and locate what is causing this.
It's not fake sites on google, their results are correct and if I type the address of the results into the address bar it goes right to it. but if I click on the link in google you're off to who knows where!
Thanks for any Ideas you may have.
It's a XP Machine. with IE8.
