Links lead to what they are not supposed to.
When I search for something, usually the first link is the one I want, but when I click it it takes me to either something called goingonearth which from what I have seen is some sort of searching engine, OR I get porn, or other search engines, this is really pissing me off as it takes anywhere from 3-5 clicks on the link and pressing the back button to get the website I want. Either that or I have to paste the link into another tab for it to work. Any help?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
