Firefox is suddenly redirecting one particular website address to a search page.
A website I use regularly now comes up as a search page (http://www.isearch-for.com/?from=inf). No error message or reason is given. This happens if the site is typed into the address bar or if it clicked as a link. It only happens to this one site and only on Firefox, other browsers work fine. There are other pages that begin with this site address that are also being changed to the search page.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
