Web browser problems. Help?
Hi,
I installed an update for Mozilla Firefox 3.0 a few months ago. It was to be able to play a video or a game, I’m unsure.
The page re-directed me to a website to install the update that looked like the genuine Mozilla website.
After I had got the update, every time I search google.com my results come up as normal, but if I click the result, it sends me on a wild goose chase with a web search program.
As soon as I click something the address comes up as this when I google twitter:
*http://www.goingonearth.com/search.php?q=twitter&n=1299838314*
(Not suggested to visit the above website, possibly harmful).
Then sends me to another search engine, like bing.com and does the same there and so on…
I’ve installed the new beta 4.0 version of Firefox and it is still on there, it does the same on IE, google chrome and safari.
Anyone know what it is, or how to get rid of it?
Thanks V3
I think that you may have a spyware program in your computer, but maybe not since the browsers you mention all have a habit of trying to update the add-ons that come with them. I found that Opera browser is the best browser due to it’s user friendly control over add-ons, third party software and pop-up blockers. I still think that it could be a malicious program causing your problems and one way to check this easily would be to open your task manager and monitor the running process when you start experiencing problems, if you get a redirect it would show up on the list of process if that redirect was caused by a program and not just the browser add-on.
