Major re-direct issues with google in IE and Firefox

Unread postby sportdman » June 24th, 2010, 2:44 am

Thanks in advance!
I am having major re-direct problems with IE and Firefox from search engines. Specifically google. Search hits re-direct through "whattoseek.ind.in" website to unknown site. Below is my HJT log. Once again, thanks in advance for the help resolving this problem.
