Firefox redirects me to malicious adware whenever I click on an item in my search engine.
This also happens on Internet Explorer, but never on GoogleChrome, Opera or Safari. My default search engine is Google on Firefox, but Yahoo Search on IE, so that's not it.
Neither Norton Security nor registry Booster can remove it. And neither Firefox nor IE seems to have ever addressed it. Does anyone know of a firewall setting that's effective, or an adware remover that fixes it? It makes searching a chore, as I can't navigate either backward or forward from the dumb ad pages.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.) They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.
Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.
