Problem Summary: vimax ads and google redirect
I get redirected to random sites when accessing google results. Either to other search engines like search.biz or blinkx. It can be anything though, including eBay.
I'm also getting adverts for Vimax pills embedded in web pages. These are from b13.adv.net and appear on sites that certainly won't advertise penis enlargement tablets. I can't system restore or find where this program is on my computer.
