Okay, this is my first time posting anything on a forum, so bear with me. I have a browser issue where google searches do not open to the links listed, but redirect to other sites. It will never permit me to open any of Google's sponsored sites from the links. Often, these redirects are to odd little shopping search engines. Also, sometimes clicking on a link from another site with send me to google with results for a search for something completely random and sometimes disturbing. It occurs on any browser, but typically I use Opera. The only way I can safely bypass it is to copy and paste the address from the description below the link. I've downloaded HijackThis and these are my results.
