When I click a link, it takes me to 1 or 2 completely different websites (Viagra, Beauty, etc.). It's infuriating.

How do I get rid of this? If I type or copy and paste a link, it's fine. But I can't click on anything without it doing this to me. I had Rogue Win7 on my computer and removed it (I hope). Although it came back today. I used Fix Registry, Rogue Killer, and MalwareBytes.

Is this a problem with Mozilla or my computer?

Thank you.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
