    Please Help - Wierd Problems with Google


    1. Everytime I go to any gmail related link this page comes up: http://i43.tinypic.com/2z68jr5.png Gmail worked for me until I did a clean install of winodows 7 on my computer. As a result, I think I am missing a program/plug in that is used by gmail to operate normally. Could somebody please help me on getting gmail to work?
    I have tried this on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.


    2. Also, google in general isn't working for me since I did a clean install of windows 7. When I seach something in google, something totally random will come up which is not related to what I was searching.

    I do not think I have a virus seeing as I just did a clean install of windows 7 yesterday, but I am doing a complete system scan with malwarebytes anyways.

    Please help!

    google redirection is not a normal thing... scan with...
    hitman pro http://www.surfright.nl/en
    sas http://www.superantispyware.com/

    Super anti-spyware found 3 tracking cookies which I have now gotten rid of. Other than that, the other programs I used to scan did not pick up anything.

    My problem still persists, any tips?

    Just thought I would add, but when I try searching through google via the built in search bar in the top right hand side of mozilla, this window comes up:

    http://i41.tinypic.com/144d0mo.png

    (the link that it tells me to go to is not even valid).
