I have an issue that whenever I use Internet Explorer or Firefox and I search using Google or Ask.com and select a hyperlink of the returned result page it redirects me to an ad page.
I tried run Spybot and AVG 8.5 and cleaned everything up using these virus tools.
I can type the address url in itself and it works.
I have pulled the pre-requisite data and have attached my findings, please help!
