Anyone else seeing this with Google?

I do a local search in Google e.g "miami electrician" and without clicking on any of the search results after a second or two a website appears.

This only happens when searching using local search terms. If I do non local searches nothing happens.

Any idea what's going on?

:confused:

Some type of a search hijack.

Or, you are clicking "I'm feeling lucky"

  Hi Rob141,
  
  It sounds like your computer is infested with malware. I recommend that you run some good anti-malware software to try and get rid of it.

Try Malwarebytes AntiMalware and see what it finds. Your computer seems to be infected with some kind of malware.

Yes. It's an old malware that redirects any search engine queries to a site. Sounds like search hijack for me.

Hi scott,

I think you should remove the link you posted since that website is flagged for malicious content!

Don't visit without reading this page about that site's reputation:

You Are Correct! I am sorry! I thought I posted the link that I used... at second glance it was NOT the site I used nor the removal tool.

I DID PERSONALLY download and use Kaspersky's tool to remove the Rootkit.TDSS malware from my computer when it was infected - the one in the link. The malware auto redirects all of your Google searches and all of the links you clink on the search page. Very annoying.

How to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS (aka Tidserv, TDSServ, Alureon)?

You unzip it and run it. That's it. And the problem is fixed. It took me FOREVER to find this after COUNTLESS virus scans with no success.

Thanks
