I am running Firefox 7.0.1

I will type in search words into the google page or the browser tool bar. I hit enter and it gives me the results. I click on the results and it goes to and unrelated site selling something most commonly to:atuosearch.com and there switches websites to http://www.toseeka.com/search or someone else. 

This happens 8 out of 10 times i search. Can U help?

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.
(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)
These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.

Thanks,

So McAfee Security doesn't do this? Or just sucks? Mark
