Why am I being redirected to suspicious websites while Google searching?
When I perform a search for websites with Google, it brings up the suggested list of sites as usual. But when I find the website I'm looking for in the list and click on it, I am redirected to other websites that I was NOT intending to view. I then go back to the Google list and attempt to click the site again but I'm then redirected to yet another unintended site.
Operating system
Windows XP

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
