So, today I did a few google searches, and everytime I tried to click on something, instead of taking me to where I wanted to go, it took me to an ad-site. My antivirus wasn't detecting anything, so I downloaded spybot to see if that could clear anything up. It found three threats, which I deleted. I figured "Hey, problem solved!" but it's still doing the same thing. Halp! D:

Edit:I tried using Yahoo and Bing. Bing works, Yahoo doesn't.

It's a virus.

Use Combofix.

Had this a while ago. Can't remember how I fixed it, but try MBAM or ComboFix.

I ran Combofix, and it's still doing it. ;-;

Edit: Actually, I don't think it ran completely. It didn't give a log report or anything. I'll try it again.

Edit #2: I ran it again and paid more attention this time. The log report was being prepared and it blue screened. What do I do?  :'(

There may be some entries in your registry you need to remove- make sure you don't mess with that though, unless you've got some help from someone who knows what they're doing.

Temporarily: Make sure your browser isn't being run through a proxy. Some spyware will alter settings in your browser configuration in order to redirect you more consistently.

This is the sixth blue screen I've gotten in the past hour.
I'll be surprised if this actually gets through.
I tried system recovery to the earliest point I could. It didn't help. And now I have a bigger problem.
I can't deal with this. I don't want to lose everything. I was an idiot. I hardly ever back anything up. I've got so much stuff on here. This laptop is my life. Please, someone tell me I can fix this. :'(

Edit:Okay, it seems to be done crashing for the moment, and I'm almost finished panicking. :V
As long as it's running, I can live without Google for as long as I have to, but I can see that there's a serious problem somewhere.

Also, when you were being redirected: Where to? What was the name of the page it led you to?

MBAM should get it. Some malware tries to stop you from downloading tools that can remove it, so here's the installer renamed if that's the case :police:

Does it happen with other browsers?

Ok, I ran a quick and a full scan. Nothing came out of either of them. I noticed something else. My Google toolbar is gone, and when I try to turn it back on, it asks me if I want to disable it.

I don't use any other browsers, so I don't know.

Actually, now its back. I don't understand it... It left me alone for like an hour or two, then came back.

Firefox does the same thing.
I ran another scan in safe mode, but the computer shut down unexpectedly before it finished.

Hey, it's worked fine for me for the past year. I'm just used to it. I don't like getting used to new setups.
Firefox seems to be working better at the moment, though. I'll probably keep using it.

IE is slow, insecure, has poor standards support, and is generally hated by every person who has done any web design in their life.
