so i turn on my pc to find massive pop-ups from everything from nicorette

other online resources.

here's the catch: whenever i do a google search it will pull up the proper
pages but when i click those links it always redirects to some advertising
page or some similiar worthless shit. i have dl 500 of the lastest (free)
spyware/adware/virus removal programs and they can't nab the problem. i've
also re-installed firefox.

i can still use the web i just have to cut and paste the searched website
into the browser to get to the page.

wtf is this i've never heard of it? anyone know how to get rid of it? i'm
not against hitting walmart up for norton i just don't think it'll be any
better than what i've dl off download.com

thanks

Skip McAfee, get Norton Internet Security (2010 just released and
2009/2010 products have been reviewed by virtually all publications as
best AV software available ATM).
