Auto redirect using Google & Yahoo

6 min read

This thread's last reply is from February 15, 2011, 8:30 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

When using Google and Yahoo search engines I am experiencing an automatic redirect after clicking on the selected search result. The search tab (top left of page) shows "Loading" then the search address immediately followed by "Jump" then "Redirect", before redirecting to pages about finance/credit cards and the like. When arrowing back, after the initial search has been redirected, the task bar shows "riva.631.expand-search-goals.com/jump1". Any help would be appreciated.

PS: If the web address is pasted directly into the task bar, then hit enter, no problems. Only occurs when using the search engines. Currently run Threatfire and have done a search using Spybot, which found a few things that were removed but didn't fix this problem.
