The other problem was when i use google the google search results lead to unrelated things that wouldn't normally show up, for example a link that should be this site would lead to some ad site. I also get a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in the middle that says im infected which links me to a side to download anti-stuff, which is obviously adware. I also believe my ctfmon.exe is a trojan or edited in some way, when i kill it the google problem usually stops. Thanks.
