Answer» Hello.
Everytime I go to a site associated with an antivirus program ie microsoft security essentials, avast, spybot ect. My BROWSER will redirect me to a FAKE av site.
I have tried a number of things INCLUDING the following to no avail
Spybot Malwarebytes Ad-Aware Hijackthis Panda Cloud AV Avast (Boot time Scan) ATF Cleaner CCleaner Superantispyware Microsoft Security Essentials Avira
Nothing I run will detect this problem and I am feeling a bit discouraged as I do not want to have to reformat the computer any assistance would be greatly appreciated on this matter
Edit: 12:16 OS on this computer Vista Updated list of used programs Update
This happens on IE Firefox and Chrome
This does not happen in safe modeThe only thing that was able to detect it was
Trend Micro Housecall
in safemode.
