Are any of you having problems doing Google searches?

Something has happened over the last few days.  When I put something in I get a number of sources with what appear to be legitimate headings, headlines and information.  But sure as heck the link is to bottomdollar.com, hotjobs.com, couponmountain.com, lowpriceshopper.com, etc.  They have nothing to do with the topic I am requesting and are selling something.

What is going on?  What am I doing wrong?  I have never had this trouble before.

you have

a spyware program on your computer that has corrupted your internet explorer search settings. I use a program called stopzilla..

http://www.stopzilla.com/products/stopzilla/home.do

It is the best by far popup, spyware, and site guard available...hands down. Tested many. Use to have Nortons...and for 1/4 the price you get twice the product.

You can do an online scan and it will show you all the at risk infections and intrusions on your computer. $19.95 is a little price to pay for a program that will get rid of them all and keep them off your computer.

www.bgoogle.it is where this attackware came from that is on your computer. Nortons cannot remove it...most cant. Stopzilla will.

Also, Spybot Search and destroy is a free program that will remove it and is almost as good as Stopzilla..but has a few limitations...but is a good alternative if you are strapped for cash:

Good luck.

spybot

is my recommendation. I've always had super success using it.

I agree with you midwifemamma

but for some reason this trojan seems to shut down spybot or the ability to execute it.

I like spybot and its ease of use...but when it has problems...look out. There is no easy fix. Spybot also has the best document shredder available...just drag and shred and a file is gone and gone forever.

The problem is..is that spybot doesnt update as frequently as stopzilla. Te scans take about the same amount of time..but stopzilla searchs and fixes even subfolders and unaccessible start up and ie files.

I highly recommend both. But may need Stopzilla to take care of this problem. This is why microsoft is scurring to fix the problem...but hasnt come up with an appropriate patch or fix as of this writing.
