Title: Bloody malware
Post by: Highlander on November 17, 2013, 12:40:21 PM
I know what it is but bugger if I can get rid of it.

For example: When using Goggle to lets say Amazon & then click on to log in, whatever I do I get a redirect to My Supermarket.com. It was something else a few days ago but that one seems to have disappeared. Basically I can not open up any external links because of this. Does not happen with my favourites list or Desktop shortcuts to sites.
My virus checkers etc tell me my computer to functioning correctly but obviously it is not.
I have
Microsoft Security Essentials
Windows Defender
CC Cleaner
Malware Bytes (Free copy but out of date now)
Any advice people.

It could be this you have.

First I would make sure all the programs you mention are up to date with definitions by using the update feature on each one.

Then run Malware Bytes and see if it comes up with anything

Not sure what you have.  Sometimes you can get lucky if the problem is an installed application.  Look at Add/Remove programs and sort by date.  Adaware has a free version that has been helpful to me in the past.

Good luck.

Ran everything I had including a free download Lavasoft. Seems to have done the trick,here's hoping.
