Google search
When I use Google, and I click on a website link, I get the following message : "page has moved, redirecting" and the URL bar shows an unsecured site which has nothing to do with the link I clicked on the Google list. The page used to open. Now it does not but I cannot really do any search. The whole thing started when I was using the google.ei engine. Any idea how I can fix that?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
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.

Thanks. I used Malwarebytes - found nothing - but will try other programs.
