    Browser gets redirected to Slirsredirect.search.aol.com

    When I click on a link in Google search, I am redirected cradles of different sitesmost probably to slirsredirect.search.aol.com . I scanned my computer with my antivirus AVG Pro malewarebytes, catchme, SDFix, adaware has at least two occasions each, they have finally found some malware. I also cleaned my registry at least two occasions with these programs: RegClean and QUAD, but my problem still persists.

    Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random / random and save it on the desktop.
    1. Double-click to launch RSIT.exe RSIT.
    2. Click Continue to display Disclaimer.
    3. If the tool HijackThis (current version) is not present or not detected on your computer, download it and RSIT you must accept the license.
    4. When the scan is complete, two text files will open. Post the contents of log.txt (<<will be displayed) as well as info.txt (<<will be reduced in the Taskbar).
    5. If you do not see these two reports, you'll find them in the folder C: \ RSiT

    Sounds like your browser has been hijacked and hence it would be better to get your desktop computer scanned. I think that the you are using the internet explorer browser and hence you are redirected to random website. Try to scan your system with an antivirus application. If you already have an antivirus application the simply try to update the virus definition before scanning. If the problem persists still then refer the following Browser hijacking: How to avoid and protect them from damage

    Try the revo uninstaller and remove the Mozilla Firefox application.
    1. Installing the software following the steps. Once installation is complete, run the software.
    2. Wait a few moments, a list of all installed programs will appear then search for "Mozilla Firefox".
    3. Then do Right click and click "Uninstall"
    4. Click "YES" in the confirmation window.
    5. The program uninstalls, wait. At the end click on the button "Scan after uninstall"
    6. A new window will appear, select the items relating to "Mozilla Firefox" and check the appropriate line. (If in doubt, do not delete)
    7. Tick "Delete" to delete the items in question. Last step, click "Close" to exit the Revo Uninstaller
