**** Google results pages ****

Hi folks:
Ever since I renewed my yearly subscription I am getting a "Threat has been detected" whenever I use Google. The threat message appears whenever the Google results page appears. Why is this happening? Thanks!

I suggest:
1. Clean your temporary files.
2. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try
DrWeb CureIT!
instead.
3. Use
Comodo Cleaning Essentials (CCE)
, or
MBAM
, or
SUPERantispyware
to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, it is better and safer to send the infected file(s) to quarantine (Chest), rather than simply deleting them.
4. Test your machine with
anti-rootkit applications
. I suggest
avast! antirootkit
or
Trend Micro RootkitBuster
.
5. Read
these instructions
and provide more info with the logs generated.
But, please, do NOT post there, open a NEW thread for your specific problem and help us to help you
.
6. Clean your Hosts file (replacing it) with
HostsMan
tool.
7. Disable System Restore and then reenable it again.
8. Immunize your system with
SpywareBlaster
.
9. Check if you have insecure applications with
Secunia Software Inspector
.
If the infection avoids booting the computer, take a look here
