Clicking certain links redirects me to spyware sites
Hello,

Just recently, when I click links through google.com, i.e (wikipedia) it takes me to spyware sites according to my AVG warning

What can I do?

Thank you

So do you actually get re-directed to these sites or is AVG stating they are spyware sites ?

There's nothing suspicious showing in your HijackThis log.

Did you run a scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware? Make sure to get the latest defininition updates first.

Is this with Internet Explorer ? Do you get the same problems with another browser ? i.e. Chrome, Firefox ?

Try running Firefox in safe mode as instructed on this link to rule out any malicious add-ons.

Does this issue still occur ?

In Firefox in the menu bar where you see File Edit View

Click on Tools and you should see Add ons in the dropdown. If you delete ones you dont use and then if the problem persists, disable them one by one and try and single out the offending Add on

Good news, also make sure your version of Firefox is up to date.

In the Help section also located along the top click 'Check for updates' and update if needed. also in the 'Add-ons' section you will see on the bottom right 'Find updates' to make sure all add-ons are updated too.
