OK time to check the MBR

Download aswMBR.exe ( 1.8mb ) to your desktop.
 
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it
 
Click the "Scan" button to start scan
 
 
On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

Should I close all programs and disable my anti-virus before running it?

Is this redirect continuous, or restricted to just one site ?

It happened that one time. It hasn't happened since (and I've been online and using the search function a lot) but it was continuous.

So it was just one site ?

Run for a day or so and if it doesn't recur I will remove my tools

It happened twice in the past 10 minutes. Once I was checking my email on hotmail and the other time I was checking my yahoo account. Both times it redirected me to some odd yahoo search engine site.

The weird thing is I've been online all day and used the search function numerous time.  ???

So it seems it is redirecting me but not when I use the search function. It just happens when I click on a link. Strange.

Could you post a link where this happens but use HXXP instead of HTTP so it is not clickable
