Hi
when I google something and click on a link this page opens http://201.218.196.152/click.php?c=047d78980d428ea2c46f4001&r=1
I have run avast4,7 home build sep2007(4.7.1043) toolkit 1.9.4.0 and still get this. It is very annoying and I cant get rid of it. I have also run ad-aware, spy bot and avg anti spyware.
Please help
Gary
Looks like a google redirecter. Here’s some info

If this seems to be whats happening post back. Someone here should be able to help you.
Personally I hover over any link and check the status bar of the browser and it shows the link information, if that shows an IP address like that I wonder what they are trying to hide rather than use a domain name. I’m a trusting sod, NOT, so I would tend to check it with DrWeb link checker, though in this case nothing is found but it is only looking at click.php and not where the c=047d78980d428ea2c46f4001&r=1 might take you.
I tried an IP whois but that didn’t return anything really helpful, it is a bit obscure a domain registrations agency (possibly) in panama, net2net.
