When in google it pulls up the results as soon as i click on a result it takes me to a completely different page

Question

say for instance if i search "bob the builder" in google it pulls up search results for "bob the builder" of course the official page is the first link. so i click on the official page link and it redirects me through a goingonearth.com and through one or two others and i end up on something completely different every time, like hair salons in new jersey or wheres the best place to eat and stuff like that. i realize it may be a search hijacker but ive ran hijack scanners they havent found anything ive reset all the settings manually disabled all addons, ive scanned my pc with MBAM (malware bytes and malware software) system mechanics pro McAfee and a microsoft antvirus spyware and malware scanner, and they all find nothing. what can i do to rid my pc of this stupid problem so i can use my beloved firefox browser again?

Answer 1

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />
