Hey there everyone,
It doesnt matter what I search for, or what link i click on, it will always open up to a weird, third party search engine. I have never heard of any of them. I then click back and click the same link again and it goes right to the site.
Also, my address bar is fine, but everything has been taking so long. My internet speed was amazingly fast, then one day, it just started to lag. It never recovered.

Does anyone know why this could be happening?

Thanks,
Ben

you've been hijacked.

do a restore QUICK and get malewarebytes

What are you talking about?
First, a restore will not solve anything. The restore undos changes to the system that alter non-user files.
And what are you talking about being hijacked?

It sounds like a virus. Make an A/V scan. I posted recently about a virus that takes you to a false Google page. They want you to search on that page, you will be taken to places you should not go. I will try to find the link and give you further information.
Hope this works out, for you.

I found this. I am still searching for the virus post.

I could only find, this. I will continue to search for the information that I had for a poster in the Windows 7 forum.

Hi Jack, how is it it going?

Thanks for the awsome responses rich. I am very good with security. I have Comodo Antivirus with firewall, malwarebytes, and also spybot. I run a scan daily and it is a deep scan. Usually runs overnight. I have not found anything latly. I am not home right now, but tonight i will look into the google virus and can hopefully remove it.

Thanks for the info!
Ben
