I'm trying to "search for updates" for my device, but I get directed to a folder on my PC.... What have I done wrong?

Question

Hi!
Trying to connect an iPad to my PC. That worked.... Unfortunately I thought I could use the iPad as a storage device and transfer a Power Point presentation to the iPad. Fooling around in iTunes i looked around in the folder structure trying to find the PP-document.
Then I got the info that the app Keynote needs to be used. I purchased the app and while trying to install it the answer is that I need to update the iOS. Clicking on the "search for updates"-button I get directed to one of the folders at the C-drive where I kept the PP-presentation... I need help to fix this! What folder is the "search for updates" supposed to aim at?
Regards,

Answer 1

Probably caused by search redirect Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs 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.''
