Browser gets redirected to consumersearch.com (need help)

Post by fsquid »

Everyyime I try to go to google.com or wikipedia, my IE will redirect me to a website called consumersearch.com. Anyone know if I have something in my browser that is causing this? I've run virus and spyware, but don't see anything. Thanks.

You have spyware/malware.

Download Malwarebytes, run a scan, rejoice.

Try running CrapCleaner, including a registry sweep?

You could also try Spybot.
