I hope that I am posting this to the right place it is my first post.
Over the last few days I have been experiencing problems from what I presume is some kind of virus. When I go on to Google and select a search result I end up at a completely different website to that requested. Going back to Google and selecting again usually cures the problem. The problem also happens when following links from other sites.
I have Norton Internet Security and ran a full scan, this discovered and resolved a couple of Trojans, but the problem persisted. Belt and braces ran Norton again, no futher viruses detected.
I then ran a full scan of Ad-Adware SE Personal. What I found happened was that it got stuck on a particular folder
Documents and Settings \Tony\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files
The program didn't stop or crash it just never did anything even leaving for an hour!
I went into Windows Explorer and found this folder and tried to delete the contents of that folder but with very little success. Each time I entered delete I got the "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" window. If I then go back into Windows Explorer just clicking on this folder I get the problem encountered window, I can only get into the folder again after rebooting.
A couple of points I have noted when I use Ad-Aware to do a customised scan none of the subfolders in this folder are shown. I also wonder (paranoid) if the Problem Encountered window is genuine, as if I say send details it says it has sent even if I am off-line!
Anybody any ideas as to what is happening and how I can resolve
