User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.133 Safari/534.16
Build Identifier: MOZILLA BETA 4

I had to switch from 3.6 to Google Chrome because I acquired a virus that would redirect my searches to advertising. I tried your 4 Beta and it still redirects. 

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
I have read about this problem from other users. They suggested google chrome.

Please contact http://support.mozilla.com if you need help.
Bugzilla is not there for support questions, it's the home of the developers.
