Google search results diversion

Using Mozilla Firefox as browser in our office. Each time I enter a search in Google whichis home page, the results are accurate but when I click on the chosen website it diverts to other sites? eg http://uk.gomeo.co.uk/index.php?a=1&keyword=community+business+bureau+woodville Ill then hit the 'back ' button and it will launch another site or back Google? Any ideas? Thank you Joe

Pretty sure you have a malicious software infection.

Run a spyware & Anti virus scan immediately and if its still and issue, contact your IT support.

Hope that helps.

Yep, sounds like a browser hijack. Easiest solution - grab Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free Version from: http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Download, install, let it update and do a full scan. ANYTHING it finds at the end of the scan you can safely remove. Be aware, it will detect remote connection applications like VNC/Teamviewer etc as spyware if your IT provider has installed these for remote access to your PC's.

Yep, you have some type of malware on your system, what version of firefox are using, make sure you upgrade to version 4 as well, as run spyware and av on your machine. You can also try hard deleting your temp internet files as well to get rid of it. I would also run a scan in safe mode as well, just to make sure. make sure your anti-virus software is up to date as well, before the scan. if this doesn't then contact your IT support, or send me an email for further info. thanks Grant
