What do I do to get rid of a virus that disguise itself as webpages? - Cindy D - 04-27-2013 02:59 PM

When I click on a common link on google like facebook or wikipedia, I always get redirected to another random page. I think it's a virus, not sure what to do about it.

The page itself isn't a virus - you've been clickjacked.

What anti-virus software are you using? You might want to start by downloading and running MalwareBytes (http://www.malwarebytes.com I think) and see if it can get you started towards getting clean.
