My browser (Chrome) and now, Steam, are being redirected when i click on a link. Even clicking on a game in the Steam Store will cause me to be redirected to a random website.

I've run Microsoft Security, Bitdefender (after uninstalling Microsoft Security) and both pronounce my PC to be clean.

I've gone into safe mode and run, SpyBot, Malware Bytes, and ADWCleaner, all report my pc as clean.

I'm at a loss.

Here's my Hijackthis report. Please help.

The only thing that found were eight "unsigned" files from MSI Command center. I ran it in both normal and safe mode.

Over the years, i've had viruses that i couldn't get rid of, but never one that i simply cannot find. This is just insane.

Are you being directed to the same place each time or is it always different? It sure sounds like virus type activity. If you have cleared your browser cache and it still persists then backup your favorites in chrome and then uninstall and install a new copy.

If that doesn't work then I would go to the MB forum and see if they can read your HJT files and point you in the right direction to fix the issue.

It's usually a different place every time. Restaurant kitchen supplies, women's wellness, amazon, ebay, various coupon sites, windows repair software sites, etc.

I tried to reinstall Google Chrome, but was unable to reinstall it. The launcher wouldn't connect to download the installation files, so in a fit of annoyance, i just reinstalled windows. Up and running again, hoping for no more redirects. Thanks for your help guys. :)
