[InActive] Google Redirect Progrlem - Hijack Log Included
Hello everybody. For the past few days now I've been having some trouble with Google.com. Whenever I click on a link, it sends me to a website that isn't the link I click on. If I back my browser out from it, nothing happends so I click on the arrow and select the google page that I searched on and it brings me back to the search results. I have no clue what is going on, but I would like for this problem to be resolved. Any help is appreciated, and thank you in advance. Below is my HijackThis Log.
