Hi,

I've somehow managed to get a virus which takes over my google searches. The searches take a few seconds more than usual, then a lot of wierd links appear at the top before all the normal search results. If I click on a search result it directs me to a completely different websites. I've looked at my proccesses and can't seem to find anything out of the ordinary.

Be cool if anyone could help please?

Thanks

Adam
