Every time I do a search and click on a link, no matter what the link (it could be a link to imdb.com or something, it doesn't matter) I get redirected to an ad-site. Can you help me? I've run my anti-virus, three different spyware things, and nothing has helped.

1. Click the Windows 'Start' button > Select 'Run' - then copy/paste this into the run box & click OK: (assuming ComboFix.exe is on the desktop as instructed)

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe"
