When clicking on search results in google or yahoo, I am automatically forwarded to some spam or ad site

When I search in Google or Yahoo, if I click on the results of a search I am automatically sent to a spam or ad site and not the url that I click on. I can copy and paste the URL into my browser but it will not let me click. Same results in Firefox or Internet Explorer. None of my spyware including Norton, Malwarebytes or superspyware has found the problem.

Your issue may be caused by Malware. You can run and update the following '''free''' antivirus software:
1. Malwarebytes (Free version) - http://www.malwarebytes.org
2. Spybot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org
3.Spyware Terminator - http://www.spywareterminator.com

Clicking a search result from search bar goole seaech, always opening google home page but only can open search in new tab by middle click,really frustrating.

Whenever i am clicking search result from Google search bar, it always opens the Google home page. I can only open search result in new tab by double clicking. It started when i installed Firefox 12.

@mstm, please ensure that you write some thing in search bar before you click search icon. without entering anything will redirect to google.com. And make sure that you are clicking on search icon not home icon.

Outlook 2013 crashes when opening Calendar search result

I have a user who uses her Outlook 2013 calendar extensively, mainly to note for herself when she has spoken to a customer, and creating appointments for when she needs to speak to them again. (This is outside of our policy to note the contact in
MS CRM.) She can have scores of such Calendar items each day.
When seraching for these appointments in her Calendar, she gets the list of results, but Oulook crashes when she tries to open any of them. Sometimes Outlook restarts on its own, sometimes she must relaunch it herself.
Related threads reference a wwlib.dll error, but she is not getting that. It is Outlook.exe itself that is crashing. There are other threads that reference other open windows, or items containing webpages or tables, but these do not apply to her, either.

On answers.microsoft.com, Girish M (Support Engineer who eventally directed me here), asked me to run Scanpst.exe. I would paste the results here, but this window does not seem to allow pasting. A summary description of what it found on her .ost file (no
.pst in use) is basically this:
**Beginning NDB recovery
**Attempting to open database
**Attempting to validate header
**Attempting to validate AMap
**Attempting to validate BBT
**Attempting to validate NBT
**Attempting to validate BBT refcounts
    ??Couldint find BBT entry in the RBT (E025CC)
**Attempting to validate header NID high-water marks
**Beginning PST/OST recovery
**Attempting to recover all top-level objects
    **Store created by biuld: 15.4517
**Attempting to walk all folders
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 719
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6CD
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6DE
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6D8
and so on, and so on, with a few hundred more FLT RowID errors, finally ending with:
**Attempting to locate any orphaned folders/messages
**Performing Final HMP validation
**Attempting to check top-level objects for consistency
**Updating folder hierarchy
  **Verifying message moves
My understanding of the Scanpst.exe process is that it also disables any addons which might cause crashing, but the issue is still being experienced. Running Scanpst.exe a second time (appending the previous log, although it seemed to actually prepend the
file) only returned a few lines from the top of the result above ending with "Attempting to validate BBT."
Fixes not attempted yet that I have found performing searches include running the Office Repair tool, or checking for KB2817631 (a Word update that is apparently having adverse affects on Outlook, not attempted yet because it seems to be related to the wwlib.dll
error, which is not happening here).
Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

Mavis,
Thanks for the reply. Running Outlook using /cleansharing and
/cleanroamedprefs did not have any effect when used individually or in combination with each other.
Running the Search Index Rebuild option also did not seem to do anything, as the pop-up message indicated that it may take a long time to finish, and yet seemed to finish instantaneously, not giving any indication that the indexing took place. The option
window immediately said "Indexing complete" for 23,755 items.
As to the Outlook Forum, they are the ones who directed me to this forum (you can see the thread on the Answers support page under Office - Office 2013 - Microsoft Office Outlook - Office on Windows 7, under the title "Outlook 2013 restarts when
opening Calendar Search result item" first posted on Dec 11, 2013), as Girish M felt that it might be due to Exchange, and not Outlook. (I have no reports of any of our other users on the same Exchange server having the problem with their Outlook, but
they also do not use it the way this user has been.)
I can repost the issue there, or continue the same thread, if you think the issue lies with them. Was the "Answers" site the improper place to post, perhaps? Should it go in a different thread on Technet instead?
Thanks for your assistance!

When i click on a search result from google, i am automatically redirected to another website everytime

This just started recently, since installing firefox 4. Now whenever I search on google or other search engines, when I click on a result, I am automatically redirected to another search site. Any ideas?

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

Error when opening a pdf by clicking a search result. Link works fine when opened any other way. IE issue only.

The issue:
www.norwich.gov.uk
When you carry out a search for "co-operative bank" and click the first result (which is a pdf), Adobe Reader is launched and the user sees this error: "There was an error opening this document, The filename, directory name or volume label syntax
is incorrect"
However, if you do any of these...
right-click the link and choose to open it in a new tab
right-click the link, copy the shortcut, paste it into the address bar and hit go
open the file directly from the library
open the file by clicking on a hyperlink
... you are prompted to Open or Save the file. On choosing 'Open' the file is opened in the browser window with no problems. It is only when clicking on the link in the search results that the issue arises. The issue only occurs with IE.
Current settings:
Client integration is disabled
Browser file handling is set to permissive
Default open behaviour for browser-enabled documents is set to open in the browser
DOCICON.xml is configured to show <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" EditText="Adobe Acrobat" OpenControl=""/>
Disabling the Adobe Acrobat SharePoint Opendocuments add-on 'fixes' the issue, in that the user no longer sees the error, but instead sees the prompt. However, this doesn't help us as the site is public facing asn we cant control user's add-ons.
Hope someone can help.

I tried this from my laptop with IE8 and it worked fine.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Recently firefox started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

When I use Google and I click on a search result it opens a new tab where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using I was looking in the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose it to open in a new window but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. This started happening out of nowhere.

Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

How can I stop redirect and jumping when clicking on a link in Google search or on a web page?

When I click on a link in Google (or other) search, or a button within a page, too often, at least half the time my request is REDIRECTED and JUMPS to another unwanted page!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after attempting to clean the computer a few times

Thank you, Weather15.
I have cleaned my computer a few times since first noticing it, both with Spybot - Search & Destroy and CCleaner. Also have
the latest version of AVG 9.0 Free checking for problems as I search.
I am about to clean again though to see if it makes a difference.
Had to do some updating a few days ago and haven't cleaned since then. Thanks again. Will let you know if this handles it!

Clicked on any the link searched by using google or yahoo, it opened a new tab on latest update. Why's not direct the link on the same tab like last update?

When I'm using google, yahoo or ask, or any search engine website. I did any random research used and clicked on any link searched by google, it immediately opened and directed me to the new tab to the link that I just clicked. My question is: Why isn't direct the link that I want to load on the same tab? It didn't happen on the last update. Is this a bug? If it's not then is there any solution? Maybe the setting. I will thanks and appreciate for any help.

Opening the results in the same tab or in a new tab can be set via the search settings page of the Google and Yahoo! sites.
For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the gear icon at the top right, click that button to open the menu list and select Search settings.
* http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
* Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
For Yahoo! on the Yahoo! search page via:
*http://search.yahoo.com/
*More > Preferences > Display & Layout > Open results in a new tab or window

Exposing TREX Search Results to Google?

Hi,
We have a CRM 4.0 E-Commerce solution and want to take the TREX search engine results (indexes?) and make them available to Google/Altavista/msn/etc index externally.
The idea being a search on the web would hit an entry in our online shop and direct the user to the product when clicked on.
I see that there is a Google Connector but this looks to me to be including Google in TREX rather than the other way around.
Is this possible and if so how ?
Regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
I think, you will mostly have to discuss this with Google. Just like TREX has ways to assume other engines results as TREX' own, Google may have these ways. But integration will mostly have to come "top down" from Google in that case.
And it might be easier to find a way to make your pages (it's a catalog, I assume?) accessible to the Google Crawlers, rather than trying to handover the index.
Regards, Karsten

Incorrect Website being displayed when CLICKING from Search engine

When CLICKING on a Website address from using a search engine, or entering it directly, the WRONG address is displayed.
It DOES have the correct address, but the DISPLAY is not the one I am looking for. Same if using the IE rendering Facility, same results if using AdBlock OFF.
Only if using IE Directly as the Browser, is the CORRECT Website displayed.
A friend of mine has NO problems in doing the same,
for the same Website address, with FF.
As far as I know, other Websites are not affected !
(Well, none that I have used so far )

Better search results with google

I already have my website listed in google's search in. However, non of the key words I have embeded will bring up with site. The only word search that will bring up the site is the actual name of the site without the "www" or".net"
How can I improve this so that people can more easily find the website when they are searching.
Thanks,

No topic pages show when clicking on search list items

After generating WebHelp (Using Robohelp HTML 7) - using
search generates a list for a search term but upon clicking any of
the items on the list nothing happens - the topic page stays
totally blank - having spent ours on this I would appreciate any
suggestions

Hi,
This may be a resolved topic, but I found it today when
searching for a solution to the same problem. In my case the
problem was not caused by (and not solved by) the Mark of the Web
checkbox: instead, it was, I believe, an apostrophe in a directory
name in the path to the output files. I moved the files to another
network location that did not have the apostrophe in the directory
name and the search results linked correctly.
If the problem was a directory name, I'm surprised that
everything but the search feature worked okay, then again I've
heard that bad characters can have unpredictable effects.
Before anyone scolds me for bad folder naming habits, it
wasn't me. It's a network drive named by someone else and shared by
the writers. I avoid any punctuation in file and folder names other
than hyphens and underscores.
Regards,
Tom

I cannot change the search engine to google from yahoo

I have read and tried several suggestions on how to change my search engine to google and it will not change to google. I have deleted anything yahoo from my computer, I did the troubleshoot suggestions, I used malawarebytes, and microsoft essentials. Additionally, I deleted the spigot/youtube downloader and toolbar, that includes the add-ons, ms config, the registry, and in my programs. Does anyone know, outside what has already been mentioned what I can do to change the yahoo search engine to google. I would like to add, I still have the same issue in safe mode.

Very Easy no need to install any thing.
1. In address bar Type in about:config (press enter)
2. Press enter again to accept I will be careful...
3. Type '''browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID''' in search bar
4. right click on it and click reset.
5. Type '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''' in search bar
6. Right click on it and click rest.
close Firefox and restart it. Good to go

Missing plugin for Quicktime but when click on install missing plugin, it says is updated. Cannot hear sound on my work sms site any longer.

On work sms text site - sound no longer is available. It indicates missing plugun for Quicktime. When clicking on the tab to install missing plugin, Firefox appears to install. Upon checking, all plugins are up to date but sound still no longer works.

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

Trying to enter Google, but then I am automatically forwarded to a page in Chinese

When I enter www.google.com on the address bar, instead of entering the Google page I get forwarded automatically to a page in Chinese. Cannot open Google in my computer.
How can I eliminate the automatic forwarding and be able to use Google?
