How can I get rid of malware that redirects to a different website than requested, i.e. Price Grabber?
When I open Firefox, my default browser, another tab opens with shopping "deals" featured. If I search in Google and select from the list of results, I am often redirected to a different shopping channel. Somehow this malware has gotten past my always-running virus checker and is not detected by Adaware or Search&Destroy.
