Hi lads,
Over the last few days, my computer has been behaving in real annoying ways, which are, well... annoying. :-?

Symptom 1, redirection

This happenes when I'm on google, and i click on a link. One of the two following things will happen:
-I will be redirected to a website called "Scour" or others, but its mostly this one
-A 5-10 second pause will follow, then the page i want will load. Say if i wanted to get into AAA, i would click on the link, then the page would go blank for 10-15 seconds, with this adress bar "http://www.google.com.au/search?q=all+aircraft+arcade&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&as_acct=uo2948i5uqp&cr=w12f0bc6" then the page would load.

Symptom 2, Directx problem???

-Lock On will not work. I go to load any mission, then half-way through the loading, it crashes.
-Rise of Flight will only crash, when an aircraft explodes or crashes (no pun intended)

My computer says i have directx, but if i go to install it, it goes through with the instalation everytime???

My Computer:

AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core processor
2.047Gb of RAM
DirectX 9.....apparently....
Realtek HD Audio Output
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250

I have ZoneAlarm and Avira AntiVir Personal (Free edition)

Please help, i do not want to spend Aus$50 to get my computer wiped, i spent my last $180 on a TrackIR 5 :lol:

edit: I also have Trend Micro House call
