only when i open firefox, NOT IE, i go to google and then when i select the hyperlink for the related site containing the content i want, the page loads (or doesn't finish loading) and i am redirected to some other page.....usually clothesdryerstore.com

i have searched for info on this page - nothing. i have all the top of the line, most updated malware, phishing, spyware, virus protection.....

what is going on? I HATE IE and only prefer to use firefox....so any help is greatly valued.

What to do when searches take you to the wrong search website. In addition to the steps on that page, you may want to disable all your addons (in Tools > Add-ons) in case one of them is changing Firefox settings.

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.

The Firefox version that you use is no longer maintained with security and stability updates.
Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.
