why does my browser keep redirecting me when I search?

Question

Everytime I try to choose a link from an IE search I get redirected to a completly different site.

Answer 1

Try an alternate browswer. Chrome or Firefox could be a good start

Run anti rootkit software as soon as possible

While you are at it run a full anti malware, virus, ect .



Assuming windows try avast , AVG, Panda.



Sounds like your DNS routing table has been corrupted or similar



Do not use a search bar, even more so 3rd party, try going to google.com or bing.com ect



This link may help but there are many others on the Internet (of course you can not search so i does no help)

Answer 2

It's called the 'google redirect' rootkit. Use this tool designed by Kaspersky to remove it:

Answer 3

It may be a virus or adware or something. Download AVG, if you don't already have it (it's free) and run a scan. Or you could use whatever else you have to scan with viruses.

Answer 4

You have virus in your PC. Run an anti-virus software and remove it. Install Firefox.
