    I have just recently become infected with some sort of spyware that sometimes redirects me to another site when I use google. I have tried using spyware scanners etc to remove it, but still haven't managed to.

    Would anybody be able to help me?



    Thanks in advance :D

    Sorry if I haven't given the right information. I have been trying to fix the problem for a wee while now lol, and to be honest, I don't even know where to start lol.


    The problem is really frustrating. When I use Google search and search for something, sometimes when I click on a link it will redirect me to a random other website. It doesn't happen everytime I click on a link. It only does it every so often.

    I have used a few different spyware programs to try and remove it, but so far have had no success. The programs I used are:

    Spy Sweeper
    Spybot - Search & Destroy
    &
    Ad-Aware


    I have been reading about Hijack This, but to be honest, I don't know what it does or how it works lol.

    If you can download & (double) click an icon, there's nothing more to know!
