Google/interwebz having problems for me - Imagine - 2010-12-01
Kay, so I got a virus a couple days ago (Thinkpoint virus, it's gone now), but whenever I use google and click any link one of the search results, one of two things happen:
-I end up in a random website for insurance/cars/videos/courses
-I end up in a website that's blank except for a few sections of code and firefox crashes
In both these results, the page takes a minute or two to load, which is unusual.
Did these problems come up from the virus, and how can I solve this problem?

I'm thinking you've still got some malware left over. May want to run a malware scan with Malwarebytes and the like.

Used that to remove the virus. I ran 2 more scans, nothing shows up.
EDIT: Did a full scan, found 2 viruses, deleted them, and the problem still persists.
I'm also getting random webpages with http://top5countdown.mevio.com/.

You have other viruses that MB didn't pick up. Grab Kaspersky antivirus, run it, and post back here the results. Some browsers are corrupted due to the attack of a virus. It's often the least problematic to simply uninstall/reinstall your browsers after clearing the virus.

Kay this thing's getting annoying @got a random porn site.
I'll get Kaspersky and see what happens.
EDIT: Kaspersky keeps deleting my explorer.exe.
