David,
After looking into your searching problem I believe you would be better off
going to virus removing experts like www.BleepingComputer.com or similar
site. They would at the very least get you fixed faster than I could and
would miss less viruses.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Vundo LP and Diversion of Searches
I have two problems, but think that they may be connected
First, for the last few weeks, my AVG 9 (free version) has shown
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe (720):\memory_00270000";"Trojan horse
Vundo.LP";"Object is inaccessible."
Inaccessible or not, AVG seems to remove it (not there on a few subsequent
searches), but then it comes back. Malwarebytes (after Eddie B helped to get
it back for me) never found it
Secondly, for the last few weeks, about 85% of my Searches (whether with IE;
Chrome or Firefox) are diverted. If I repeat the Search 2 or 3 times, I
usually get what I want, sometimes not. The diversion is not to porn sites
or anything like that. Often it is to EBay, sometimes to what appear to be
other Search sites, such as Search Pro and Ask Jeeves. Occasionally, I get a
single commercial site, selling pharma. products.The sites which I usually
try to search are ultra respectable, such as Government Departments
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and, more importantly, what (in
simple terms please) I can do to stop it?
