Hi! Anytime I do a Google Search and then click on a link from the search, I am not taken the actual/correct URL for the search but redirected to various sites ... the most recent was: http://www.mydealmatch.com/ ... if I type in the actual URL I will go to it - just not when I click to get to it!

Ug! I've browsed and cannot seem to find a solution or perhaps it's out there I just can't actually get to it! LOL!

Thanks in advance for your help!

UNINSTALL LOG
I could not find an uninstall log????

I see from your HJT log that you're using a 64 bit operating system.

Unfortunately, the tools we use to analyze and remove infections do not work properly on a 64 bit operating system, and their results cannot be relied upon. Because of this, it is almost impossible for us to correctly diagnose problems, and the fixes we might offer could potentially do as much damage to your computer as any infection you might have.

Due to the above stated reasons, we do not at this time offer support for 64 bit operating systems. We are sorry that we are currently unable to assist you.

This topic is now closed.
