    So for some reason when click on link from google, I get this redirect/jump crap and it sends me to some random site. I've tried Malwarebytes wich usually takes care of the problems, but it turns up clean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    If you're using Internet Explorer go to Tools in the menu bar, select Internet Options, Advanced, and Reset Internet Explorer Settings.

    If you had spyware before IE may still have some add-ons that are redirecting your browser.

    I had the same thing; ran Spybot and it recognized "My Coupon Bar" or "Coupon Bar" or something like that. But I couldn't delete it.

    That might not have been the issue, however.

    I did go into Toolbars/add ons in Internet Explorer and disabled something labeled simply, "D."

    That solved the issue, but I still didn't locate where to remove it permanently.

    Of course it really wasn't a big deal to me since I predominately use FireFox (as should everyone).
