| I've exercised a number of cleaners, concentrating mostly on Trend-Micro
| tools. But no matter what I do, I cannot seem to detect or correct this
| behavior.
|
| Here's what is happening:
| I perform a search using a well-known search engine. The results page is
| returned. I click the hyper-link of the result I'm interested in, and ...
| the address bar goes through a few quick changes (barely visible they occur
| so quickly), and I end up on a web page that is an ad of some sort; but
| definitely not the URL that was associated with my original search result.
|
| There is other 'suspicious' behavior on my PC as well; but for sake of
| simplicity I thought I'd try to confine my question to this one item.
|
| Any help with regard to this specific type of behavior is appreciated.

Please download, install and update the following software...

Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.
