Whenever I click a link in Google I get redirected to dodgy search engines. On the third attempt it goes to the website I clicked.

I've done a virus scan and no virus' and Windows Defender hasn't found anything.

Any ideas?

anti virus doesnt include it but the stand alone free spyware tool isnt the best imo. worth a try though

AVG Anti virus doesnt inlclude spyware tools, you have to download the extra ones and in my experience it isnt the best. Worth a try all the same though.

never said you did, just pointed out that you need the seperate spyware tool from the AVG anti virus (which most use).
