Hi, I have a problem where most search results in google or msn link to odd sites, or other search engines. If I cut and paste the link it works fine and if I go back to the original search results and re-click the link the link will then take me where I need to go. I noticed that the link is being re-directed through IP address 67.29.139.253 (this IP address also appears in my history listing all the pages I am being redirected to).
I have read other posts here and on other forums with similar problems and tried the solutions offered there but without luck I've been tryng to get rid of this bug for 2 weeks now).
here is my hijack this log, please note that I purposly run the KGB - Refrog Keylogger to monitor my childrens activities.
