Every time i do a search from the main page and get results, i click on a link and get diverted, i have to back out and re-click the link, and then i usually get to the website i wanted, is this a computer problem or a firefox or google problem?

Every time I do a search and click on a website from the search results, I am diverted to some other website, usually some ad-site. I then have to click the back button and click on the link again, and this usually takes me to the website I wanted. Is this a virus problem with my computer, or a know problem with firefox, or google?

Download, install and update as many of the following as possible until your infections are cleaned.

  1. The free versions of these scanners will detect infections and clean your system; no need to purchase
  2. Different malware scanners detect some malware that other scanners do not.
  3. If you are unable to download the malware programs,
    • change the name of the installer program before saving the download to your hard drive, and
    • once installed, go to the installation folder for the program and change the name of the program executable file (i.e., for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, change mbam.exe to xyz-mb.exe), then update the program and run the scan.
    • you may need to download on an un-infected computer, change the name of the installer program, copy the installer to a CD or USB thumb drive, and transport to your system for installation.
  4. Some stubborn malware will need to be removed in Windows Safe Mode with Networking'. WARNING: Download all the tools first, then disconnect your modem before entering Windows Safe Mode, as your Firewall and AV/AS probably will not load in Windows Safe Mode. See:

If these don't find or can't clear the infection(s), post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

Hi there, I updated malware bytes and then ran the scan again, found about 12 problems, seems it has been solved. I think I got the virus' by watching fights on-line through an unprotected stream. This was an amateur mistake on my part and I knew better, but I wanted to watch the fights for free, BEWARE OF FREE STREAMS. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. Vino.
