Stupid interrupting starfish grmmbl.

So, I'm having this issue when I use google to search and click on a link. The link will then take me to an unrelated spam-filled random search engine designed to wreck my system.

Malwarebytes' scan turns up nothing. Can anyone help?

btw, it's called a 'redirect virus'- I'm sorry AVG caused trouble, though.
Combofix is the name of the super-potent cleaner that the IT guy installed- It's for 'experienced users only' yadda yadda- and it can cause problems (mine had bios issues and pathway issues when it was done). But it did get rid of the stupid virus.
