Since yesterday I've started getting a strange problem with both FireFox and Internet Explorer.
The main problem is with hotmail, and I know it isn't my ISP as it is fine on another computer. The problem is when I go to log in and check my mail it doesn't load but what I notice is that it is redirecting to an address named online-security.cc.. but doesn't actually load any page still.
Thinking this all sounded rather fishy, I did a scan with Avira and checked out my system processes but nothing was found. I then tried Spybot S&D and it found some stuff, removed it but made no difference at all. I also decided to give Ad-aware a go too and basically nothing either.
It seems like some kind of browser hijack but it's hard to determine any real cause of what is going on.
I am not sure what else I can do.
