    Google links being redirected, unable to resolve problem

    Recently when I use Google or any other search engine, when I click on a link I am redirected to a completely different website, usually advertising type-things.

    I followed the advice in this thread: http://www.d-a-l.com/help/spyware-ad...-resolved.html

    But I'm still having the same problem.

    The Fixware log:
