Lately, and I have no idea how it's happened, but all of my websites, where ever I am, redirects me to scanquery.com over and over again. This is extremely annoying, and I keep losing file information and having to retype it over and over again, hoping my webpage won't get redirected to scanquery.com again. How can I make this go away?

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.
(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
