Selected website does not load. Redirects to a different website or get Firefox screen.
First - Start Firefox. Initial home page displays. Then Firefox closes and goes back to my laptop screen. Second - When I Google a website, about 60% of the time, I get a different website than the one I selected or I get a blank Firefox screen. Using Firefox 3.6.10

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
