That's what I use, though others on these forums swear by Google Chrome.

I used to be diehard IE only, until one of the updates *** everything up, I can't remember what anymore, but it *** something up that I used all the time (just for a comparison, think favorites no longer working) and it wouldn't let me revert to the older version, so I said *** that and got Firefox..

Haven't looked back since, shoulda done this sooner.

When you say redirect what do you mean exactly?

Use the search bar to locate a website, click on the website choice and redirects me to some generic search

I'd be lying if I said I completely understood what was going on, but I have a feeling that has to do with Malware, not browser choice. If you get the same thing happening with Chrome and Firefox, it's definitely has something to do with something on your computer, not the browsers themselves.

Hmm.. Then I dunno.. Do you install those add-on tool bars? Or are your browsers completely stock?

Yah it sounds like you have something hijacking your search results into another search engine (maybe one that's doing bad things to your computer.)

I use Firefox, and I opened MSIE 8 just to see what you were talking about. I typed "MSN" in the search bar, it pulled up Google as my default search tool, top link was MSN page...I clicked it and got to the MSN main page.

No redirects to another search tool at all.

That's odd.. I mean you already use multiple malware detections, I doubt adding another to the list would change it, I'm assuming none find anything, and if you don't have any of those toolbars installed that come packaged in other application installations, then I'm not really sure what to say.

I guess you could try out Firefox and see if the same thing happens, but I have a feeling it will.

I suppose it's possible, but not likely, that either what you have on your computer isn't recognized as malware, or that it's just not in any of the definitions..

Yah you can end up with browser redirects simply through malware embedded in certain websites. If it really bothers you, you can check into HijackThis. I posted some details about it in another thread...

http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/14130/cpu-usage/2/#849830

...basically it lets you examine if there are any strange URL redirects affecting your registry and start up applications (that wouldn't be detected by AV since they are embedded at the point the OS becomes active.)

Something else I would look into is registry changes. You'd have to Google around on the specifics, but some Malware out there changes stuff in your registry that isn't repaired by removing the malware.

I've never used Hijack this so you'll have to turn to Schutz or someone else on that one.

Ah you can run it and check...just running it analyses your system and generates a report. I can help you read the report sections if you either PM it or /paste it here.

By itself, HJT won't change your system unless you tell it to do so, so just having it analyse what's going on won't hurt things at all.

Can't remember if it was 5 or 6 but one of them sucked hard and they took forever to replace it. 7/8 run awesome. I hear good things about 9... but well see.

Ah it's better to know anyhow. Even if it's nothing or can be 'worked-around' by using Firefox or Opera or something, it's still nice to know if you're clean.

The HJT report generates something like this...
Spoiler Alert! Click to view.

Essentially you examine each of the "sections" (R1/R0/O1/O2/etc.) to see what is being run currently. I'll try to find that link to the system look up lists for reference.

I have to head out to work in a bit, but you can post here or send via PM. You should be able to eyeball any weird stuff also...but I'll check on it when I get back (if you don't figure it out prior!)

EDIT: Here's a tutorial on how to read the sections...

http://www.pchell.com/support/hijackthistutorial.shtml

That system look up site I linked to before seems to be down, but the German HJT support site can still help you analyse sections also...

http://www.hijackthis.de/

...can copy-paste a report there into that window to cross-reference their DB on registry items. It will highlight ones that are particularly questionable.
