For the past week or so my PC has been redirecting the google and yahoo search results to spammy type sites. I have run Malware Bytes which finds nothing. Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

Do you get redirected in all the web browsers? What sites does it redirect too and how often?

1) Install, update database and run full scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Attach malwarebyte full scan log, fix anything detected.

2) Run full Scan with SuperAntispyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/dow... . Fix what it detects and post summary scan log.

If I'm helping you and I don't reply within 24 hours send me a PM.
