Seems to be that there is a redirector that both Spybot and Adaware cannot remove. The symptoms are as follows: When a link is clicked on in a search engine, an entirely different site will load. But when you click the "back" button in the web browser, it will load the correct page. Seems like a redirector to me... should be simple. I appreciate any help that you can lend. :-)
Here is the HJT log:
