Title: go.google.com
Post by: 06Honda on November 08, 2008, 02:34:17 PM

When ever I search in my google.ca it takes me to go.google.com and is always a site to buy software. I have uninstalled my IE and reinstalled IE6 SP2 with no results. Unable to update any programs at all as I get the IE cannot display window, at a loss as to how and resolve issue. Cannot download any other programs to use as they will not install and cannot do an online scan either. Any ideas where to start, I have tried some of the suggestions listed in removing malware but cannot do most of them, should I just reinstall my OS XP Home Edition?

When I search for any subject matter on the internet how do I stop from always be redirected to a site that wants me to purchase something.

The site might be programmed to do such thing, When you are browsing in the past does the same thing happen? Try searching with a different engine.

It's a trojan --> go.google.com redirection.
