Ok, similarly to this post (http://www.geekstogo...es-t224286.html), I have had issues. Whenever I try to search on Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc, the search results look normal and all. But when I try to click on any of the results, it brings me to a random website that clearly looks like B.S. (ex: Shopica, fe-search, ix-search, etc). I mean, i copied the URL of the results page to my non-infected laptop and all the links worked. So, what can I do? I'm running Windows Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron laptop. I never had this problem with IE7, but this started happening when I switched Mozilla Firefox about 3 weeks ago. The problem also affects Chrome, Opera, and IE8 web browsers, so its clearly malware. I have tried every single program I can think of out there, ever Malwarebytes and AVG and at least 10 others but to no avail. I don't know much about computers (like, what is a "log"?) so I need a straightforward walkthrough here. I don't have a file called "wdmaud.sys" or whatever that some "fixes" were referring to. Please help me; thanks.

EDIT: I tried http://miekiemoes.bl...archengine.html but when I looked at the data for "aux" it was wdmaud.drv which is the correct version; not malware or anything bad.
