Everytime i search something in google or any
search engine, the links are redirected to a
spam site, mainly traffic-incidents.com. I have
tried several different solutions, malwarebytes,
deleting the proper environmental variables,
etc. i have tried it in safe mode and normal and
neither has produced any sort of resolution. i
have ran ad-aware, avg, windows defender,
symantec, spybot and nothing has cured this
problem.edited by moderator: remove un-requested log
it is against forum rules to post a hjt log WITHOUT it being requested by a qualified member ...GOOD-BYE Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
