I'll do a search through like yahoo search engine or any others, that are installed on my browser. When i click the link to look at something it will take me to a different page, like if it has a link for youtube. Don't know if this is a browser problem or anything but any help would be appreciated.
Hi this sounds like a malware infection, below is a very effective process for removing Malware/Virus. If the below programs do not load change their .exe file name (not the shortcut)to something like iexplorer.exe and they will work fine. Do not run more than one spyware/malware program at once (they might conflict) you may also have to disable you Anti Virus temporarily to scan with them. Most effective in the following order: 1. Malware bytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php 2. ComboFix: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe 3. SDFix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/sdfix.php 4. SmitfraudFix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/resources/link243.html 5. SpyBot Search and Destroy: http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/spybotsd162.exe Also ensure you have the newest version of java as some of the old one's have vulnerabilities. Other things to consider if you don’t already do them a third part firewall, as windows firewall only block incoming traffic, if you are infected you want something like ZoneAlarm which will block outgoing traffic also. Please ensure Windows Firewall is switched off if you install a third party firewall. Install firefox browser 3.5 only (very resistant to getting compromised) Install returnil (free version) can be used instead of antispyware software, when enabled it separates the hard drive from the internet, no known/unknown virus/spyware will defeat this software. Another program more powerful than returnil (cannot be installed together) is comodo time machine (freeware). You can installed this on a clean computer and it will make a baseline snapshot. Before you go on the internet you can create a new snapshot (takes 3 seconds), if you run into problems/malware just restore your computer to this snapshot. It's similar to windows system restore but much more powerful especially against bad drivers/software/malware. http://www.brighthub.com/computing/smb-s...iews/61309.aspx Finally use a free imaging software (macrium reflect) to make an image backup of your c: drive while it's clean. Worst case scenario you can restore your computer to a like new windows condition without spending hours reinstalling windows. I hope this helps.

well now i got a problem that you might be able to help me with on that. i cant go into windows after entering my password it just comes up with a black screen, no start menu or destop icons. I can go under safemode but dont have no internet connection to be able to make sure i have the latest updates. So could that be a problem that deals with malware?
