I had this problem caused by a rootkit (likely) where google searches were hijacked and relinked to some bogus websites. The AVG anti-rootkit solved the problem, although it gives this message that your computer might become unbootable if you delete the file they found to likely be the rootkit. Worked in Windows Vista.

"v.- 1.1.0.42"
On 2kpro... seems fine to me... sometimes it's good if these things don't find anything, especially if you're not having any problems and have decent anti-ware. And I didn't find any "pfft" on the given links.

I installed and tried it but who knows if it is effective...There must be a way to test it.
