Google Chrome problem.. rapid redirects to Google searchpage

Alright, here's the deal... a couple of hours ago, Chrome started redirecting all of my tabs to the main Google search page. This only happened with Chrome, not IE. After redirecting, there would be rapid refreshings of the Google search page. If I clicked on a certain tab, it would be directed to Google search and the rapid refreshings would occur there as well. Have run Malwarebytes, Avast, Spybot... nothing has shown up. Long story short, things worked smooth again after disabling Instant Search (and that's the only area I can pinpoint, since things get farked again after re-enabling it.) Still, very paranoid, though, especially since Adobe Acrobat kept asking me to update around the time this all started going down. I'm now looking into RATs to see if I've been compromised via backdoor/trojan. EDIT: After checking five different sites on how to find a RAT, I think I'm okay.
