Why do all links I click on through google take me to other places

[dUnKle]

Just done a google search (was for the official fantasy premier leauge) and upon getting my results I clicked on what seemed to be the most accurate

It took my to a site selling pianos ?

I then did same search again, clicked on first result and this time got to correct site

I then did another search (internet speed nest) and got a site that seemed to be from a coupon site ?

Run avast and nothing found, run windows defender and nothing found

Actually tried to do search for problem (google search innacurate results)
Clicked on first link and it seems to redirect few a few sites before showing me a bbc news web page put with a www.blinkx..... web site

Sounds like spyware/ malware.

Strange

Been away for the weekend and things fine then - will have to have word with other half

As it stands we never use this laptop to download things so even more confused - we use the old laptop for downloads and the like

Windows Defender got nothing back nor to has avast
Oh and using Vista as well

I would sugest running this program

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - Reviews and free Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware downloads at Download.com

Great program, just the free version should do the trick.

Yup - Malwear for sure.

We have been suffering all week with attacks of this and it has been driving us mad. Malwarebytes will remove it, but it will re-appear until the source program is found and removed.

The wife has just babbled something about running a program called AFT cleaner too, which will clean up Temp internet files and cookies as it can also lurk in there.

We found that it was a dodgy program that i'd installed from my mate Bertie and once removed and cleaned fingers crossed it's gone for good

Basically your browser has been hijacked
u can read about it here

doing the malware scan and aft cleaner should get rid of it

[Dj_Sim]

Yea my ladies PC got some terrible program on it and the only program that could remove it was malwarebytes.

Love that program now.

[dUnKle]

Thanks guys
Confused as to how its there
Can spyware transmit from one laptop to another over wireless ?

[Dj_Sim]

it can get there for hundreds of reasons.

Might be a hole in your browsers security.

Are you using firefox?

Not AFAIK. Looks like your router has been affected?

router infected ?
how does that work ?
can it be fixed

[andykn]

Router affected, not infected.

It sounds like Malwarebytes should work, see:

Possible spyware problem

If it doesn't, you could try using Alta Vista to see if you have the same problem and try using a different web browser.

[dUnKle]

Mawarebytes found 16 infections
Removed them but still have the problem

[dUnKle]

also problem now appears on both laptops
seems to be spreading - did not think a router could be effected or cause such problem ?
