Ser'eck Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ok, I have a problem that has been going on for a few weeks now and do not know what to do. I am currently using Firefox v3.6 and every time I do a google search and click on a link to go to a website, I some how get redirected to another site. Example: Google> star wars wiki, the first link on the list is the official link to wookiepedia. I had clicked on this link and it took me to a completely different site. Does this have something to do with my web browser? Can it be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 have you run you're anti-virus lately? also, get malwarebytes anti-malware prog from here and run that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser'eck Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yes I ran it twice 2/3 days ago. I will give malwarebytes a try, thanks! EDIT: I just ran malwarebytes and it found 1 infected file. Not sure if it has anything to do with my problem but only time will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 maybe you've got some weird browser add-on or toolbar that is changing links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser'eck Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I checked out my add-ons and under extensions I found something called XULRunner 1.9.1, it is a runtime package. Maybe this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Nope XUL is a part of FF. Check your installed program list - if you have something like mywebsearch or any toolbar app that you dont recall installing - uninstall it. For more info on mywebsearch.... read here If there is anything you are unsure about - feel free to ask here before uninstalling. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
