Try a diff browser to see if FF has been hijacked somehow. You mentioned "checking" extensions, have you tried running FF with them all disabled?
You might also see if there's a BHO scanner for FF (I dunno if http://www.nsauditor.com/anti_adware_spyware_tools/browser_helper_object s_scanner.html works with FF or not) -sc -----Original Message----- From: Bill Monicher [mailto:bmacd5...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 9:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Searches being hijacked to show results from "search.pro" Has anyone seen this before? When I do a search using Google or Yahoo, I'm presented with the usual list of links matching the search terms. When I click on one, I am very briefly presented with a page with a beige rectangle in the centre and an arrow. The legends says "Skip this page" and "Your request is loading" When it completes I am at www.search.pro, not the seach choice I wanted. I'm using Firefox. AVG w/ all of the latest updates I looked in the usual places -- add-ons, extensions etc but to no avail. The URL on the "redirect" page seems to change several time before it shows the list of choices. shopica.com is often there, tho I've seen others. the URL of the destination is www.search.pro Has anyone seen this? It appears new -- there is little on google about it, but then searching on "search" or "pro" is hardly going to narrow the field much. My surfing habits make this sort of thing very rare, so I've no idea how I got it. It has only shown up over the past week or so. --BM ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
