Help  :!:

Something is up here but don't know what at all.

Problem 1

When I click on a link from any web search I am re-directed to sites that are not what I wanted at all

Problem 2

Something is creating files in the Temp Folder within the Windows Directory

All the files have similar names such as:

(1)winE7.tmp
(2)win68.tmp.exe

Can't find out anything about problem 2 as I can't search about the problem due to problem 1

Anti-spyware says there is nowt hiding any where, have tried it on several programs

Currently doing an on-line scan for viruses don't trust the anti-virus at the moment there must be something hidden on the system somewhere

Ideas anyone

You have become infected with malware.  What anti spyware software you running?

this page offers an explanation and free trial removal tool

Using my cable companies and also downloaded ewido anti-spyware to try that it found nothing will try the other one that has just been left as a link see if that finds anything

Using a free trial of Spy Sweeper, it found something straight away on start up, the other 2 didn't doing a full scan now back in 40-50 mins when its all done

I think it may be OK now but will find out shortly if it is or not

here's hoping it worked for ya mate

Got rid of it had to do it manually,

Thanks all

nice one mate, they can be a bugger to get rid of

Downloaded Panda Platinum 2006 Internet Security for now seems to be doing the job alot better than my old one.

Now I just need Webroot to make its self a nice Internet Security package
