Yahoo Search Problem

**bbarry20** · November 28th, 2009, 01:17 PM

Yahoo search results come back OK. When clicking on the results, a random website is returned. Also, every once in a while a random website just pops up. Happens with IE and Firefox. Running Vista. All spy ware, virus checks, MAL-ware run clean. Thanks.

Run Adaware, SpyBot S&D or Malwarebytes - don't use all of them at once personally I'd try MB first and see if it cleans the problem. Make sure they are all up to date

Run an Anti-virus program like AVG, AVAST, or AVira. Turn off system restore, boot to safe mode and remove anything bad that pops-up.

At any point during these scans you do get any bad results make a note of names and locations of the all the nasty files an/or redirects then if none of that works you can google for a possible fix.

I know it sounds redundant, however you didn't post any details as to which AV's you used or which malware/adware scanners
