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:

  • I get a message Fire Fox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page, everytime I log into a bank or credit card web site?

    When I log into my bank or credit cards websites I get a message that says "Fire Fox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." It says "Allow" or an X. Sometimes I can click Allow and it goes but then other times if I click Allow on it kicks me out. If I click "X" it goes but I have to click X every page. How can i stop this?

  • Google add-on search: A lot of the time when I click on the search results, it sends me to a site called "Infomash"!?

    Don't know what I've done wrong, all I can think of is update firefox in the past few months. I use Malwarebytes and bitdefender. I also have Stinger installed. Nothing is picking up a hijacker or anything. However, everyday...when I use firefox (only browser I use) I do a search through the google add on, and the results show up. I click on the one I want, and about 1 out of 5 times a site called "infomash" pops up. I hit back, click on the same result...and I get what I wanted. NOTHING will detect this!
    All of a sudden tonight, I've been searching things for a video game. Looking where to find a gun for the game. CLEARLY state the name of the game and everything in the google search.
    I click on this link: (Not actual link, but search result above it)
    http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Xuanlong_assault_rifle
    And it takes me to this link!
    http://www.brownells.com/
    I hit the back button, click on the link search result above again....and that time it takes me to the right one.
    I don't play games on this pc, don't have several things installed. Mainly just use it for email (don't download hardly anything from email), facebook, amazon, ebay, and work.

    This is indeed caused by a virus - and that I'm 99.99% sure (beware of the 0.01% though) - I've searched some forums around and it really seems to be malware.
    Edit: Be sure to update your current paid antivirus and to perform an on-demand scan before buying another.
    You're gonna need other security tools to test this, since your infection is probably TDSS or others. These kinds of malware tend to install more malware, that installs more malware, and so on.
    Your best bet here is a paid antivirus, but there are more antivirus in this world that you haven't tried, such as,
    [http://www.safer-networking.org ],
    [http://www.spywareterminator.com] ,
    [http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx]
    If none of these work, I'd highly recommend a paid antivirus (this is a potential rootkit, not exactly the easiest thing to detect)
    Good antivirus to choose from:
    -TrustPort*
    -GDATA*
    -Kaspersky
    -AVIRA
    -F-Secure -ESET
    -BitDefender (the one you own) -eScan
    Antiviruses marked with * are partially based on BitDefender, and it might be best to look into others.
    (in order of my personal recommendation in terms of detection-it might not be worth anything and it doesnt account for speed of scanning)
    There are some free tools that have been "claimed" to solve this issue.
    BEWARE: THESE TOOLS ARE A MERE PART OF RESEARCH AND ARE NOT ENDORSED BY MOZILLA. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

  • 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.

  • ADFS SSO and SharePoint 2013 on-premise Hybrid outbound search results from SharePoint Online - does it work?

    Hi, 
    I want to setup an outpund hybrid search for SharePoint 2013 on-premise to SharePoint Online.
    But I'm not shure if this works with ADFS SSO.
    Has somebody experience with this setup?
    Here's my guide which I'm going to use for this installation:
    Introduction
    In this post I'll show you how to get search results from your SharePoint Online in your SharePoint 2013 on-premise search center.
    Requirements
    User synchronisation ActiveDirectory to Office 365 with DirSync
    DirSync password sync or ADFS SSO
    SharePoint Online
    SharePoint 2013 on-premise
    Enterprise Search service
    SharePoint Online Management Shell
    Instructions
    All configuration will be done either in the Search Administration of the Central Administration or in the PowerShell console of your on-premise SharePoint 2013 server.
    Set up Sever to Server Trust
    Export certificates
    To create a server to server trust we need two certificates.
    [certificate name].pfx: In order to replace the STS certificate, the certificate is needed in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format including the private key.
    [certificate name].cer: In order to set up a trust with Office 365 and Windows Azure ACS, the certificate is needed in CER Base64 format.
    First launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
    Select your SharePoint web server and double-click Server Certificates
    In the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate
    Enter a name for the certificate and save it with OK
    To export the new certificate in the Pfx format select it and click Export in the Actions pane
    Fill the fields and click OK Export to: C:\[certificate
    name].pfx Password: [password]
    Also we need to export the certificate in the CER Base64 format. For that purpose make a right-click on the certificate select it and click on View...
    Click the Details tab and then click Copy to File
    On the Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next
    On the Export Private Key page, click Next
    On the Export File Format page, click Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), and then click Next.
    As file name enter C:\[certificate
    name].cer and then click Next
    Finish the export
    Import the new STS (SharePoint Token Service) certificate
    Let's update the certificate on the STS. Configure and run the PowerShell script below on your SharePoint server.
    if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
    # set the cerficates paths and password
    $PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
    $PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
    $X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
    # get the encrypted pfx certificate object
    $PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
    # import it
    Set-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig -ImportSigningCertificate $PfxCert
    Type Yes when prompted with the following message.
    You are about to change the signing certificate for the Security Token Service. Changing the certificate to an invalid, inaccessible or non-existent certificate will cause your SharePoint installation to stop functioning. Refer
    to the following article for instructions on how to change this certificate: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=178475. Are you
    sure, you want to continue?
    Restart IIS so STS picks up the new certificate.
    & iisreset
    & net stop SPTimerV4
    & net start SPTimerV4
    Now validate the certificate replacement by running several PowerShell commands and compare their outputs.
    # set the cerficates paths and password
    $PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
    $PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
    # get the encrypted pfx certificate object
    New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
    # compare the output above with this output
    (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
    [/code]
    ## Establish the server to server trust
    [code lang="ps"]
    if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
    Import-Module MSOnline
    Import-Module MSOnlineExtended
    # set the cerficates paths and password
    $PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
    $PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
    $X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
    # set the onpremise domain that you added to Office 365
    $SPCN = "sharepoint.domain.com"
    # your onpremise SharePoint site url
    $SPSite="http://sharepoint"
    # don't change this value
    $SPOAppID="00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000"
    # get the encrypted pfx certificate object
    $PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
    # get the raw data
    $PfxCertBin = $PfxCert.GetRawCertData()
    # create a new certificate object
    $X64Cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
    # import the base 64 encoded certificate
    $X64Cert.Import($X64CertPath)
    # get the raw data
    $X64CertBin = $X64Cert.GetRawCertData()

    $MsolNameIdentifier = "$MsolServicePrincipalID@$MsolCompanyInformationID"
    # establish the trust from on-premise with ACS (Azure Control Service)
    # add a new authenticatio realm
    $SPSite = Get-SPSite $SPSite
    $SPAppPrincipal = Register-SPAppPrincipal -site $SPSite.rootweb -nameIdentifier $MsolNameIdentifier -displayName "SharePoint Online"

    Add a new result source
    To get search results from SharePoint Online we have to add a new result source. Run the following script in a PowerShell ISE session on your SharePoint 2013 on-premise server. Don't forget to update the settings region
    if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
    # region settings
    $RemoteSharePointUrl = "http://[example].sharepoint.com"
    $ResultSourceName = "SharePoint Online"
    $QueryTransform = "{searchTerms}"
    $Provier = "SharePoint-Remoteanbieter"
    # region settings end
    $SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
    $FederationManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Query.FederationManager($SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication)
    $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level Ssa
    $ResultSource = $FederationManager.GetSourceByName($ResultSourceName, $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
    if(!$ResultSource){
    Write-Host "Result source does not exist. Creating..."
    $ResultSource = $FederationManager.CreateSource($SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
    $ResultSource.Name = $ResultSourceName
    $ResultSource.ProviderId = $FederationManager.ListProviders()[$Provier].Id
    $ResultSource.ConnectionUrlTemplate = $RemoteSharePointUrl
    $ResultSource.CreateQueryTransform($QueryTransform)
    $ResultSource.Commit()
    Add a new query rule
    In the Search Administration click on Query Rules
    Select Local SharePoint as Result Source
    Click New Query Rule
    Enter a Rule name f.g. Search results from SharePoint Online
    Expand the Context section
    Under Query is performed on these sources click on Add Source
    Select your SharePoint Online result source
    In the Query Conditions section click on Remove Condition
    In the Actions section click on Add Result Block
    As title enter Results for "{subjectTerms}" from SharePoint Online
    In the Search this Source dropdown select your SharePoint Online result source
    Select 3 in the Items dropdown
    Expand the Settings section and select "More" link goes to the following URL
    In the box below enter this Url https://[example].sharepoint.com/search/pages/results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}
    Select This block is always shown above core results and click the OK button
    Save the new query rule

    Hi  Janik,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display hybrid search results in SharePoint Server 2013.
    For achieving your demand, please have a look at the article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn197173(v=office.15).aspx
    If you are using single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it is important to test hybrid Search functionality by using federated user accounts. Native Office 365 user accounts and Active Directory Domain Services
    (AD DS) accounts that are not federated are not recognized by both directory services. Therefore, they cannot authenticate using SSO, and cannot be granted permissions to resources in both deployments. For more information, see Accounts
    needed for hybrid configuration and testing.

  • Clear search results from Content Services Windows Crawl 6.1

    We have ALI Content Services Windows Files 6.1 with a crawl job on a network location. It works fine. Now we have changed the location - directory structure. The job, modified with the new location works fine, however, we still see search results from the old location also. Since those documents no longer exist, clicking on the link causes an error. How do we clear the search results?
    Thanks.

    Have you tried running Search Repair. I believe this should clear out the orphaned search records.

    When I unchecked the Advance/General/Accessibility option to be notified of a "redirect" then things worked.
    Why did clicking on "Allow" not work?
    I posted step by step detail in the Trouble Shooting box below.

    Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.
    I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.
    Thanks again mha007
