Recently I was victimized by the 'SmitFraud' rogue adware. I used the fix and it seemed to do it's job. However, since then, when I use Google, virtually every response it offers me gets redirected to a commercial, pseudo "search engine" such as "toseeka" or "bestabuys.com" or somesuch. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can back-up to the original site Google intended to send me to. This is very frustrating! Has anyone ever heard of this?

Thanks,

Better late than never, here's a link that may help.

The fix for this problem is Combofix. Nothing else I had (2 anti-virus programs and spybot, adaware, and malwarebytes) would fix the problem. Please be careful using combofix, read all the rules and print out the instructions before starting.
