How do Reavers clean their spears?

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

do you happen to have any Chrome plugins that could be doing this?

There is also a technique called search optimisation. Basically keywords are inserted into the site's metadata that push it higher on more search results. It is also possible that they are paying google for a higher placement in search results (Something that was happening a few years ago, but I heard that google had cut way back on it). If you're seeing the same results for a variety of different searchs across different topics I'd be looking for adware on your installed programs list.

flipkart is in all of the searches. I don't think google is trying to promote Buy Google Online | Flipcart.com .

Try on another computer on the same network. If it shows the same, its not your computer.

The other thing it could be is adsense.... The way google stores big data is sort of interesting. If you searched for something associated to flipkart in the past, or maybe dropped by a online store that had something associated with it means that for the next few months you're likely to get adds associated with what you searched for. Just something for when you've tried all other options and you're tearing your hair out looking for what you've missed... It might not be you.

yes, its google redirect. its a type of adware. very basic, very easy to get rid of

 

do this:

check chrome for any adons that shouldnt be installed, and remove them from chrome

uninstall any blatently sketchy programs.

run adwcleaner

run malwarebytes.

 

you'll be fine

DO ANY ONE KNOW THE NAME OF THIS FONT

 

is it related to your virus issue at all?

if not, please make another thread related to it. and try to get a fuller screenshot so we can see the entire thing.

 

if it is related, why does it matter?
