I am infected with scour virus, what do I do???
I try to click on search results and get redirected to a site with all these other choices. I looked up scour.com and it's some kind of BS about choices. Well, my choice is to be able to go to the sites I see listed after my Google search. That's all I want. it also seems to be a very destructive virus and my anti virus and anti malware are not finding it....please help!!! Thank you.

Looks like your pc is infected and you need a malware removal person, please contact your antivirus support if you have, or contact malware removal forum such as bleepingcomputer, malwarebytes forum etc, they will help you to neutralize your pc's infection. Good Luck
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
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 their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

If using the above listed scanners does not fix it or if you are blocked from installing those scanners then ask advice at a forum that specializes in malware removal.
