Something is Wrong

[UBT - Halifax-lad]

Help  :!:

Something is up here but don't know what at all.

Problem 1

When I click on a link from any web search I am re-directed to sites that are not what I wanted at all

Problem 2

Something is creating files in the Temp Folder within the Windows Directory

All the files have similar names such as:

(1)winE7.tmp
(2)win68.tmp.exe

Can't find out anything about problem 2 as I can't search about the problem due to problem 1

Anti-spyware says there is nowt hiding any where, have tried it on several programs

Currently doing an on-line scan for viruses don't trust the anti-virus at the moment there must be something hidden on the system somewhere

Ideas anyone

Using a free trial of Spy Sweeper, it found something straight away on start up, the other 2 didn't doing a full scan now back in 40-50 mins when its all done
