Search Engine Redirect problem

[HockeySteve]

I'm having an issue with using search engines. They currently redirect me(but not all the time) to random sites, rather to the one I want to view. I've searched the forum a bit on this issue but I figured it would be best to ask for help on this issue.

A couple current problems that may be related to this?:

Malwarebytes won't update the database(just seems to 'hang' then closes out the program)

Avira Antivir won't update its database either.

I appreciate you taking your time to read this and to help me.

Thank you,

Steve

Hi,

The forums are really busy, that explains why logs get behind. If you still need some help, please start with posting a new hijackthislog in this thread. Don't start with a new thread.

Then I'll take a look.

[miekiemoes]

Since there is no feedback anymore, I assume this issue is resolved ... so, this Topic is closed.

If you need this topic reopened for continuations of existing problems, please request this by sending me a PM with the address of the thread. This applies only to the original topic starter.

Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
