Hi biograd11.
FINALLY FIXED.
i give the ole router a little restart and type in a random search in google... none of the search links would come up with results5. and not one of the links redirected me.
Thats great well done
It's basically a process of elimination to track down the exact cause of redirects, it can be caused by a number of things.
Resetting you're router was one of the options i was coming to
Thank you so much for all your help and support over these last few troublesome days. Also If you could recommend to me any services/applications that would prevent this from reocuring in the future I would greatly appreciate it.
You're most welcome, i will be recommending some security applications once we are done but stay with me we still need to check a few things.
I don't want to let you go until i know you're PC is totally clean and secure.
