How can I get rid of malware that redirects to a different website than requested, i.e. Price Grabber?

When I open Firefox, my default browser, another tab opens with shopping "deals" featured. If I search in Google and select from the list of results, I am often redirected to a different shopping channel. Somehow this malware has gotten past my always-running virus checker and is not detected by Adaware or Search&Destroy.

For particular information on Google re-direct virus see http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2010/02/remove-google-redirect-virus.html

Also check to see if an add-on is causing this behavior, for details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
