I've never had a problem like this before, but here goes - when I type a search term in google then click on any result, it redirects me to some other site I've never heard of - http://vacmoresherry.com/ and say's 'jumping' on the tab  Sometimes it even goes to another search engine I've never heard of(Britannia search of something like that). Seems like it's some kind of browser hijacker. Also, I have more processes running in the background than before, and I'm not sure what some of them are. Here's what I've tried so far:-
-CC Cleaner
-Avast
-Spybot Search and Destroy
-Adaware
I got rid of everything that came up in these and updated all my definitions. The problem still persists though. I know I'm probably going to have to put up a log in the Hijack This section, but is there anything else I can try? And has anyone else ever encountered this particular problem? Many thanks

Welcome
Download Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2 to your desktop:
Double click on HJTInstall.exe,it will prompt you to extract hijackthis.exe to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
When the install is complete,HijackThis will automatically launch.
When the license agreement appears,select "I Accept" and then click on the "Do a system scan only" button.
When the scan is complete,click on the "Save Log" button,then save it to your desktop.
Copy and paste the entire contents of that log into a new topic in the HijackThis Logs forum, not here.
After posting the log you should NOT make further changes to your computer (install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc) unless advised.
Doing so can result in system changes which may not show in the log you already posted.
Further, any modifications you make may cause confusion and could complicate the malware removal process.

| After I posted this, I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti Malware and ran a scan. After I got rid of the infections, all seemed to be well and everything sped up. I may still post a HJ log though, just to be sure
