Internet Explorer 8 Searching With Odd Search Engines
When a link is clicked instead of going to the site it is named for it appears to be getting routed through another site or search operation. This just started within the last couple of days. It is only occurring on my Win7 machine. WinXP works find. I have run and scanned with AVG, cleared cookies and histories etc. Real strange. If I type in something for Sears it takes me lord only knows where.

... snipped Adwcleaner - is for adware. MBAM doesn't detect all of it. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ Thanks for that one! I didn't know about it. I've been diligent about adware but this nifty little app just removed all the leftover references. BIG smile
