775761 2009-05-21 21:34:00 Whenever I do a google search, I get a results page, but when I try to click on one of the links for those results, I get kicked to some page that has nothing to do with my search.

I've run both TR & MWBAM & nothing popped up. Here is my HT log.

Thanks!

If you dont use the language bar you can tick this

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ctfmon.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe

I would uninstall this. Use something like Glary Utilities instead

Does it happen in IE as well? It can also happen if youre using a router. So, if it keeps happening with FF and IE, if youre using a router, reset it then reconfigure it. Since it'll / can affect a router. And nothing will appear / show in a HJT log

775764 2009-05-22 00:21:00 You need better or more up to date antispyware.
Whats TR?
Malware Bytes is good but not by itself. Get Spybot as well. In fact the more the better......

Spyware Terminator
Superantispyware

and if you can stretch to payware: COunterspy
