Hi,

I thought it is more likely to be an virus issue but I have scanned the
machine with paid and free software, registry cleaner but nothing showed up
as suspecious.

Use IE to do google search, I am always redirected to somewhere else. Not
what I was looking for, e.g. Oxford radio station, ended up with something
else. Also noticed the following pattern, which selected a link from the
search result, the first 2 links always appear but the 3rd one is random.
Anyone any idea ?

Spyware/adware cause numerous system problems. I recommend you download and
use AdAware or Spybot (or both) on a regular basis and consider removing
everything these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent
updates to these programs and you need to check for them before every use
including the first time.

Have you run Ad-Aware in deep scan mode? The same for your antivirus. Many
times the default scan is a quick sweep. If anything is found you then
should load all the pistols chambers for a comprehensive sweep.

Boot into safe mode and run your scans from there. You may be surprised at
what may turn up.

Ron

The link that you supplied to spybot does not seem to be the same a spybot -
search & destroy which I usually see recommended in these NG's and none of
the links for spybot on that site, (ie the one you supplied) , seem to work,
at least for me. Did you really mean that Sptbot or did you intend Spybot
S&D?
