Solved IE and Firefox redirecting every search link

[adiwalsh]

Yes. Its redirecting with and without java installed. Should I just keep scanning with AV and AM software until it finds the exploit kit?

At this point, it does not look like it is that exploit kit.

The next time that this redirect happens, please copy/paste/post the entire URL that is in the "address field" at the top of your weird search returns. Also, a screen shot of the returns that you are seeing.

For example:
Here is the search URL

Here are the returns - minus the advertizements:

adiwalsh, can you open a command prompt, type ipconfig /all and press enter, and post us a screenshot of the result?

I'd like to see what DNS servers you're using...

Here is the search URL: facebook - Google Search

This is where it redirects me to: Advertising | eZanga.com Hop on and go!

Here is a screenshot of the search results

Thanks! Can you go back to that window, scroll up to show the first part of the output, and do a screenshot of that?

Okay, so you typed facebook into Firefox's search box and it looks like you got normal results. At what point did you see the eZanga page?

 

[adiwalsh]

I get the eZanga when I click to go to facebook, the adress bar changes to www.facebook.com but then very quickly changes to ezanga (sometimes others)

Uninstall Firefox, if asked about user data or settings, remove them too.

Run TFC by oldtimer again. Reboot and re-download Firefox. Mozilla Firefox Web Browser

Be very careful with 'add-on' extentions.

I see - thanks for explaining.

This redirect happens when you use Chrome or IE - right?

And this does not happen with other computers in the house - right?

 

[adiwalsh]

It happens in firefox, chrom and IE. other computers in the house are fine

Thanks for answering - but please respond to the other posts.

This one asked you to post all of your ipconfig/all info.

This one asked you to try and fix one of the browser.

You have several people attempting to help - please read back thru and respond.

sibbil here is the top part of the thing you wanted to see.

Based on the screenshot of your ipconfig/all - it would seem that this computer is not behind a NAT. Are your other computers behind a NAT? Maybe you could post the ipconfig/all for one of the other computers that does not have the redirect issue.

Also, did you manually assign those DNS IP addresses?

 

[adiwalsh]

I dont know what NAT or DNS is, I dont think I have changed any settings, i just plug my ethernet cable from the model into my laptop. I will take a screenshot of the other computer tomorrow

When you say "model" I'm assuming you mean "modem". If that's correct, then that's not advised. For protection against attacks and infiltration from the internet you should really have a router (NAT) between the modem and all your computers. The router keeps your machines from being exposed to the internet (keeps them hidden from the rest of the world).

Looking forward to your screenshot tomorrow. Would also like to know if you connect the other computers that you have the same way as this one (direct to the modem or other ways). If different, let us know exactly how you connect them.

Those addresses that appear in your screenshot are all assigned to Virgin Media Broadband service. Does that sound right? That includes the DNS addresses UsernameIssues was speaking of.
