Any computer wizz's out there?

carly burn

Every single time i push the 'search' button on Google, i get directed to a site called 'Guazu.com'.Think it's a file sharing site.
It's been happening for weeks now.Been using the orange search page instead which is not as good

Any ideas?

cheers.

It is possibly a virus/trojan/spyware thing. You should run a full scan on your system using (fully updated) anti-virus software and download and run some anti-spyware tools:

Spybot

Ad-aware

(Both free)

Run all the checks with the computer disconnected from the internet.

its possible that you might have accidently added a toolbar when you have installed something. so when you search for something in an advertisers toolbar they will automatically direct you to their site.

when you are on the google homepage rather than clicking search just press enter and see if that makes a difference

Sounds like a Virus

Lavasoft is good also AVG is a great free one to have

DA9

Definitely spyware/trojan

There is another one called Hijack This, it gets red of most things that Adaware doesnt.

Excellent advice Sco.Turns out my computer's got more diseases than a Maguluf holiday rep.And i can now go on google and find out what half of them are

Thanks again people.
