Hi, welcome to TSF

Do you get redirected from other search sites like Yahoo or Ask?

Are you searching from the google website or from a toolbar?

Which browser are you using, and have you tried any others?

It sounds like your computer might be infected. Please follow these instructions and start a new thread in the Virus/Trojans/Spyware forum where an analyst will help you as soon as possible.
