Malt 379 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sounds like you have a browser redirect virus. I got one on my desktop which barely gets used, all the usual malwarebytes, superantispyware type programmes don't seem to be able to shift it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,954 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 you could download and run combofix just ignore any warnings about running antivirus and reset your browser to defaults afterwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
