Redirect on malwarebytes.org?

[CCMUA2009]

I was looking in the forums reading posts. When I went to my browser favorites to go to another websites, I somehow wound up on aol.com and I never even put aol.com in my favorites. I looked at the list in the favorites and it was short and just had major items like HP.com Microsoft.com

I have run updated Norton, malwarebytes, and spybot scans and nothing comes up negative

very strange, any thoughts?

I have checked my "network" and it just shows me

Do you have an HP computer? If so, then it is likely the original default homepage set by the manufacturer. You can check by looking at your homepage settings under Tools>Internet Options. I know HP tends to set such a page as the default homepage and it's possible you accidentally reset it with one of your clicks.

ok here is what happens. If I go to my malwarebytes desktop icon, then open malware bytes from there if I go to the

about tab

then click on www.malwarebytes.org box it opens up a window using my browser for www.malwarebytes.org

If from that window i click favorites it has five folders in favorites

HP

Links

Microsoft

MSN Websites

Windows Live

This is very strange

ok I think I know what happened.

I ran malwarebytes as "administrator" , though I always log on as a limited user account. So I think when I run malwarebytes as admin, then go to the malwarebytes.org site from that, it shows my browser/hx/favorites from the admin account

Does that make sense? Does that mean most likely there is no infection/control etc at play?

yes that makes sense. since you are logged in as the admin, I assume you have not added any favorites to that account, so you have the default ones that came with your computer for all users.

If the scan for MBAM came up clean then more than likely you are good to go.
