When clicking on sites found from searching using the search bar (not address bar) you are redirected to a site other than the one one you clicked on. This does not happen on every site found but on many of them. However, in all cases where it does happen the site redirected to is [adlinksearch.com]. I use PC Tools Spyware Doctor and it has found no Malware issues. I can go to the website if I put it's address in the address bar. I do use the igoogle search bar. Please help with this issue as it is very annoying.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
