Computers & Internet Google - a problem

[Stats Man]

I postedthis in the computer board but thought some on here may know of a solution:

Last night a virus popped up on my computer, but I did not think much of it (I am a bit of a novice at such things and simply clicked on delete on the virus protection thing) but every time I try and Google something , I get to the page where I have the results of much search but every time I click on a link on there it redirects back to the results page but pauses and simply shows a white, blank screen. Any ideas what the go is there or is it just a problem Google is having ATM? Thank you. Stats Man.

edit: Mind you, Google is working fine for me in Internet Explorer, Firefox is the one having the trouble. And also BigFooty (and other sites with flash animations) seem to freeze/pause for a few moments when I click on any links, any ideas? Is it worth uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling it?

Did it just happen last night (and in Firefox) - or is it still happening for you now? It hasn't changed for me today.

Probably virus/malware.

Wouldn't hurt to scan your comp with Malwarebytes.

I'll link it up in half a sec.

I have had no problems since that night, will keep you posted though if anything changes.

It happened again just then.
