Hi,

 

I have the latest Norton 360 installed on my Windows 7 PC and now whenever I make a Google search my results are redirected to ads. I'm pretty sure it came with "Blekko" toolbar which came with another free program I downloaded. I have tried removing it from

IE 10 and from control panel. I have completed full scans on Norton and nothing came up. I want to backup my files for safe keeping, but think I shouldn't since I'm having this problem, as it might be a virus? Should I be using it for banking or online shopping

etc, just in case? How do I remove this (assuming its a virus of some sort)? Any help appreciated.

 

- Jacob :)
