Malware that redirects Google to sales sites.

I have some sort of malware that when I use google on Firefox, I’m redirected to some generic sales site. I’ve tried Nortons, Malwarebytes, Spybot, SUPERAntiSpyware. All find Trojans and other demons, but not the one that’s causing the central problem. So far Internet Explorer is also good, but I prefer Firefox. Can you help?

That type of exploit might be caused by a Rootkit virus. See if this article helps you.

If not, see this Google search - but you may need to use a different browser or different PC to access those search results.
