Problem with Google search results

Hello,

I recently have been experiencing problems with my Google search results in Mozilla Firefox. I enter a search keyword and when I click on the resulting search result links, the first one will always work, but then the rest won't and the eventually the first one won't work if I click it again. I ran AVG virus scan and eliminated four trojan horse downloaders and then I ran Ad-Aware and eliminated 182 additional threats but the problem persists. However, this problem is only for Mozilla Firefox because I have no such problem with my search results if I use Internet Explorer. On the other hand, when I start Internet explorer, I get the following message:

Warning!

After this, it has an "OK" button and a "Cancel" button. I don't click "OK" I click "Cancel" and it takes me here: hxxp://homesiterenew.com/security/vista/

I hope this description is accurate enough for you to be able to help me. If you need to know anything else, please let me know.
