Good Morning!

As you can see, I am a new member, and find these forums completely by accident trying to solve a problem.

When I search on google, I keep getting redirected. For example, yesterday, I searched for Charterhouse Aquatics, I clicked the top link (this was the correct one, have used them before just couldnt remember the address) and up pops .... The Ebay log in page.

I have already run, Malwarebytes, CCleaner, startuplite (as too much rubbish running in background). Also HostsXpert.

I have tried several times to download and use S&D - however, although it will download and update, it will not open!! - It is in the toolbar area, SD-Resident, but this will also not open (has a padlock on it if it makes any difference).

I also have avast installed - this does not pick anything up.

I have Hijack This installed also if it is needed. (I have removed some of the above programs but can download them again if needed)

Any help greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
oscar
