When i do a google search, the result page button "visit page" always goes to a redirect page, but only in FF, not Chrome.

Then clicking "visit page" always goes to the redirect page where i have to click again to visit the page i actually want.

I've heard this called a "DNS google redirect virus", but using Kasperski (tdsskiller.exe) designed for this virus, found nothing. Check my "hosts" file, it's clean. Checked my lan settings and no proxy servers. Starting FF in safe mode still gets the redirect page. ( see attached image) this started in just the last week or 2 ago. Used "rkill.exe" ( kills malice services so they can be disabled) Found nothing. Installed "superantispywear.exe" ran that looking specifically for root kits, found nothing. Ran a AVG full system scan, including inside archives, cookies, root kits, everything, took over 5 hours and 3+Million files scanned, didn't find the virus, and didn't fix the problem.

This redirect page doesn't show up using chrome. So it seems FF and google searches interaction is some how to blame !
