Hello. I followed the "Read me before posting a request for assistance" instructions, so I hope that I have done everything right.
1. thanks for reading this thread.
2. problem description: sounds the same as a lot of other people. after using the internet i noticed that when using google with explorer and firefox , i would be shown the correct title and text of what i was searching for, but the link was odd looking and if i were to click on the link i would be directed to something nasty. for example, i google "dog", and i see the following:
Title_ Dogs Trust
Text_ The UK's largest dog welfare charity, outreach programs, education, information, dogs for rehoming, legislation and campaigning.
Link_ ogsaerx.com/ - 10k - Cached - Similar pages
3. here are the various logs that were requested, separated with -------------:

4. If you could spare the time to help then that would be very much appreciated. I hate the idea of something nasty living in my computer.
Thanks again. Rob
