    Redirect virus
    Google, Bing, Yahoo, search engines will not direct to the proper web site when prompted. Leads to a completely unintentional site.
    Firefox 3.6, IE7, Malwearbytes anti-virus, and McAfee, have found and quarantined malicious software, but the problem is still present.
    Any help to lead through the steps would be greatly appreciated.

    Boot into safe-mode and re-run the scans. (Make sure the AV's are up-to-date).

    What OS do you have?

    Let me know the results of the scans in safe-mode and we'll go from there!

    After you've scanned, run HijackThis and post the log, we'll tell you what to click on and remove.
