Hi there - I have been trying to resolve this issue for some time now and have been out of luck to date. My issue is this: I normally use Firefox and when I do a search from Google, Bing or any other search engine, when I click on the results I am redirected to an ad site (often I am redirected through redirect.overture.com or an ad-site provided by Yahoo first). I am able to click on the URL and be directed to the site I wanted but have to deal with the new ad window first. I have run numerous searches with Symantec software, Ad-Aware and Malwarebytes and none of them have found anything. I have also searched through my registry for items that various sites have noted to be a problem and have found nothing. I have also done all the same using Safe Mode to see if I could be any luckier - but no. Here is my Hijackthis log - thank you in advance for your help!
