IT Queries: Computer problems answered

Can you explain the following.  If I use Google to  search on a subject such as “googlebomb”, I get search responses with sensible summaries, but the URLs dont make  sense, returning what appears to be spam and malicious sites.

I have AVG running,  tried Spybot and Malwarebytes and plan to try Adware.

Is what I’m seeing  through a result of Trojan’s?  BTW,  I have an unaffected computer which is returning  sensible results  on Google searches.

It certainly doesn’t sound good. It may be worth trying another browser on the system to see if the same happens.

If another browser doesn’t have the same problem, itt could be something in your current brower’s proxy settings.

You may want to check your anti virus and malware scanners are up to date. If you have a serious infection, the trojan could be interfering with the updates. So try downloading the update files for AVG, Spybot and Malwarebytes manually.

It’s worthwhile giving the computer a serious scan for malware and we’d suggest following our Removing a Trojan instructions.
