So i don't know when it happened or what happened but now when i am in internet explorer and do a google or yahoo search then click on a link, sometimes it goes to where i want and sometimes it redirects me to a totally random page. Typically, I use Firefox and the problem has no effect on Firefox. However, I don't think it can be good to just leave it, even if i hardly ever use IE since it only effects IE. It only happens when clicking links and not when you type and address in the address bar. I have run ad-aware and deleted what comes up, spybot and deleted what came up there, and went to the free pestpatrol online scan and deleted the one thing that comes up on that scan from my registry. The pages continue to be redirected even after I delete all these things. Also, when I restart my computer, there is one thing that seems to keep coming back on the ad-aware, spybot, and pestpatrol scans despite being deleted. I forget what comes up in ad-aware (nothing came up in my most recent scan). In pest patrol, the Trojan "Win32.Qhost.DF" is the thing that keeps coming up. In Spybot, a thing called "Pipas.A" keeps returning after a restart, even after deleted. Both the Qhost and Pipas.A are the same place in the registry. It is local machine\ software\ microsoft\ windows\ currentversion\ ruins. Also, each time i run spybot and pipas.A comes up, two things seem to be always with it. They are Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify and Windows Security Center.FirewallDisableNotify. If anyone is able to help, I would really appreciate it. Thank You.
