google keeps redirecting my searches.?
Every time I click on a search on google I get redirected to anywhere but the search I want to go to. Ive been told that it is a virus and to download malwarebytes which I have done and scanned my computer but it makes no difference. I have also tried avira antivirus but once again still nothing. Is there anything else I can do? Its really a nuisance!
I have deleted and then reinstalled both programmes. The redirection happens on IE9 and google chrome. I have an AOL programme too but no redirection happens on that.

The Google redirect problem is caused by the Alureon rootkit. TDSSKiller will remove it.
Try this:
Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds.
If that's successful, download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits:

You should now delete TDSSKiller.exe, as updated versions are often made available.
Hope this helps.

You can probably solve the problem by doing a system restore. Restore back to a day before
this happened.

Try reverting your computer to a state before the problem occurred using System Restore.
