Google Links Not Working - Malware? Help!
Hello good people,
I believe my netbook is infected.
When I have a google search, many of the results links take me to garbage sites. I have tested this with other search engines as well. If I copy and paste the link to sites, they come right up.
Also - I noticed my Citibank Virtual Account Number software had grown HUGE. 2.5+ gigs. This is usually a very small program. I uninstalled it. This makes me a little nervous.
Finally, before I realized I was infected, gmail asked me to delete all my cookies before I could read my mail. This had never happened to me before, but I did it, and I could get into gmail.
Before I came upon this forum, I ran a full search using Avast, which had been running. It found some malware and destroyed them, but the problems persist. I also downloaded the free AVG and ran a full scan, and it found a bunch of tracking links, but no more malware.
I followed the instructions on the "If you have infection issues start here first.. " post. The following replies will be the report logs from the different scans.
