Google, Yahoo, and MSN Search Acting Crazy

Is it just me, or is the search engines search screwing up? Whenever I click on something I'm searching for, it redirects me to a completely irrelevant google search. Just a second ago when I was typing this, I clicked on a link from google search, and it crash firefox.

For example, when I search for ipod to computer transfer all of the top listings, including sites like dell.com and sears.com, just redirect to a google search of Ink Jet Transfer. It does the exact same thing on yahoo and msn search.

I've been having things like a bunch of links on google leading to pages with a bunch of jibberish symbols and stuff like that for the past few days.

Is this just me?

This is killing me. It's keeping me from getting my school work done.

Come on man, don't tell me you seriously don't know what's wrong?

Hint: Run something like MalwareBytes

I don't think Formatting and re-installing is really necessary.

I remember one time I was an idiot and installed one of the PPI programs because I wanted to see what it did.. yeah.. it owned me.

I've had spyware that constantly re-directed me to different results and what not and the one tool that always fixed it for me was: Kaspersky Anti-Virus

This is the one anti-virus I can run and forget about because it will always find the problem (at least in my experience).

Yeah, I figured it was something on my computer. What else could it be? Funny thing is all it does is just send me to semi-irrelevant google searches...really weird. Haven't got any pop-ups or anything.

I'll try to run kaspersky tomorrow and finish my homework now (if I can).

Also, the numbers/letters 3d79 comes up on the top of google sometimes.

I just don't get why someone would make something that would just screw around with my search results. I guess it is possible for them to somehow make money from it, but come on, there are much better ways.
