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?

I had that!
It was on my work computer- the IT guy installed a super-cleaner (which actually screwed a bunch of stuff up). I'd suggest start with laurion's advice. You could also try AVG (which is what Rob always recommends). I can't remember what the super-crazy program was called, but I could find out if the other suggestions don't work.

I installed AVG, scanned once, and it wrecked my computer. Now I have to fix it. AVG is not the solution here.

Yeah, I don't really love AVG either. It works as a preemptive sometimes, but otherwise, meh.
