Over the past 2 days I've noticed a couple of problems with Internet Explorer.
If I search in Google for a site eg UKB, the usual results page comes up.  However, if I then click on the link to the proper home page I get redirected straight to a pr0n site/ Spamming site.
I've also started getting loads of pop up ads, whereas these were all blocked until 2 days ago.

I've done a scan with Avira- nothing.
I've looked in my program list for anything unusual- nothing.

Anyone else having problems?  I assume it's some malware, but I haven't been able to find it.  And Google wasn't too helpful, although I did get to see lots of pr0n 
I'll be using FireFox from now on anyway, but I'd like to be sure this is sorted too.

Use this http://www.brothersoft.com/spybot---search--destroy-61667.html always finds the culprit.

also run this one

269 problems found.  Just finishing running SpyBot then I'll try your suggestion Jim.
Cheers.

Its always good to run a couple of different ones as none of them pick 100% up

[GCW]

Rather ironically SpyBot has just completely crashed when trying to clear the problem
Here we go again.....

[GCW]

Right, I've run all these fixes and still have the problem.  After some research it seems the problem is a redirect via copy-book.com, some info here.

i'll let you know how I get on as it's a persistent little git.

Have you looked at your hosts file to see if there's any dodgy entries in there?

For XP it's at: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

The file is just called hosts, no extension - open it up in notepad and see if there's anything in there that shouldn't be. It's usually pretty much empty...

[GCW]

Cheers Bubbs, it's on my to-do list along with a manual file clearance as mentioned here.

Total fucking pain in the ass.

Did a manual clearance as above.  All redirection stopped, so I restarted to test it and bollockation it was back.  I obviously missed an exe on my sweep.  Trying Super AntiSpyware for a further search.  Grrrrr.
