Ok I have asked this on google and see plenty of results but cant get the answers due to the predicament.
I'm guessing this is the dregsof a virus my pc had last week (After windows repair all went back to normal...or so I thought)
If I go one of my Fave' websites,it'll not only open that site,but in a new window,open another site at random...viagra,weigh loss,search site,cleaning...
Same as if I open my hotmail inbox,more often than not it'll be the same website that opens alongside there...WiliamHill...but it does differ.
Biggest prob is ANY links.Doesnt matter how many times I click on a link,I cant open THAT link...I'll be redirected somewhere totally random and different everytime.
AT different times I have run AVG,Adaware and spybot s&d and none- 3 cookies have come up each time only.
Help please
Thank you

I fought with this thing for almost a week. It was driving me crazy. Finally found a solution last night. Hitman Pro 3.5 will get rid of it, along with any other malware on your PC. You can download it at http://www.surfright.nl/en/products/ and it is very easy to use.



Never heard of this product before yesterday, but it seems to be the only one currently capable of cleaning this bug. Tried Norton, McAfee, Malware Bytes, AdAware, MRT, and SuperAnti-Spyware and none of them were able to find the trojan and proxy entries that were causing the issue.



Hope this helps, and good luck!

Try a couple of things

1st in Internet Explorer, go to tools > internet options > connections > lan settings > look at the part for proxy server.If this box is ticked untick it, press ok



2nd Download MalwareBytes Antimalware and run a quick scan.I'm afraid Ad-aware and Spybot are now considered lame programs now

If you get re-directed use another pc or try this direct download

Can you post your mbam log ,open the program,click on logs,double click on the last scan.Copy paste it here or save the txt file and upload to mediafire and post the url http://www.mediafire.com/

firstly, all the 3 software you describe ain't that good.

avg ranked in the top ten av but it's actually crap.

try using better av such as kaspersky/nod 32.

they're kinda cheap too. or you can download it free off the net if u know how.



and for the popups and stuff,

it must be some kind of adware/spyware thingy.

i recommend using 10bit Security 360.

ain't that famous but it's really good.

try it.
