Hello, I have recently noticed google redirecting me for specific searches. I get redirect to shopping sites (like pronto) whenever my search query is related to a product that can be bought online. If I click the link again from google, I am able to reach the correct website. So you can say my issue is not huge, but I would like to clean my sytem.
I have tried looking at Hijackthis, MalwareBytes, and currently have NOD32 AV running. I have also looked at previous threads in this site and through google but I couldn't solve my problem as most of the help provided there is user-specific.
Let me know what logs/info you need and I would be happy to provide them as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Thank you very much xryanx. It seems there are no more redirects as of now.
Sorry! The malware seems to have returned. Now I do not know if it was removed in the first place... TDSSKiller cannot find anything and a DNS flush does not resolve the issue. Any suggestions?
its a very common browser hijacker virus known as Google redirect virus that leads your search quesries and web links to unwanted web pages. to get rid of this virus,install an anti malware program, or do the manual removal steps as instructed herein http://darfuns.com/remove-google-se...

Still nothing.. Tried all the suggestions and still being redirected. Any other ideas? Thanks
I'm having the same problem. It seems to have started when I downloaded Norton Security Suite from my ISP Comcast in the Houston area. My IE browser keeps opening Wikipedia. Help!
I'm having exactly the same problems - we've now run several antivirus programmes, but it keeps coming back (Housecalls finds nothing). anyone?
