[QUOTE="jonowarr, post: 770646, member: 77725"] Hi All. New here hope someone can help me! My Firefox Google toolbar has started doing wierd ****. Whenever I do a search, the results list displays with a > in front of every link (in blue). When i click the link, it redirects to a number of wierd places such as: [url=http://www.copy-book.com]Copy-Book.com News, Events, Articles, Search, Archives and more[/url] or [url]http://adbizsearch.com[/url] and usually then to [url=http://results.overture.com]Pay Per Click Ads from Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture)[/url] and then ends up at some place totally unrelated to the link I clicked in the Google results list. No I am a cyber numb-nut but my guess is firefox (or something more sinister) has downloaded some sort of thingy that's causing this re-dricetion to what are mostly shopping and/or gambling sites. HAVE I BEEN INFECTED??? it's a Macbook Pro with Firefox 3.0.4 I have reinstalled Firefox now I'm out fo ideas. CAN ANYONE HELP???? Regards Jono [/QUOTE]
