Everytime I search something in the firefox address bar for it to automatically find the site, I am redirected to a place called Sitelutions instead of my page.

Question

Basically, every time I enter a search into the address bar (like "google" or "facebook" with out the .com extension) I get redirected to a page which seems to be owned by Sitelutions telling me:
"The website google{hpfromuri} is (or was) utilizing the Sitelutions Redirection Engine. Unfortunately, the URL has been entered incorrectly, or the site has been deleted by its owner. Below are some of our other services and features that we offer."
(heres the URL) http://domainpark.sitelutions.com/redir_not_found/redir_not_found.shtml?google{hpfromuri}
Normally it will go to the page directly. I am thinking it could possibly be some kind of Trojan or some spyware may have crept its way on to my computer and is causing this, but my virus software is not picking it up (Avast! and Malware Bytes).
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Could be caused by Malware, or even a Rootkit virus, but re-directs caused by either of those usually affect pages loaded from a Search webpage - not from the Location bar.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)''''' They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''
