Browser redirecting...
My browser keeps redirecting and sometimes an extra window will popup directing me to some off the wall site. I guess I've got some malware or something.
What's a good free program to clean this crap out? Thanks!

Might I suggest running the "3 Stooges":
1) Kaspersky's TDSS Killer (check for Rootkits, repair/replace/cure if possible)

2) MBAM (as previously mentioned by hobbit709
3) SUPERAntiSpyware (looks a little "rogue-ish" but it's an excellent program)

All are free programs, I keep MBAM & SASW installed on all my machines to use as on demand scanners every month or 2.

MalwareBytes is good, but choices are better: [link]http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388652,00.asp[/link]
