when i try to open a url from a search, it always goes to a random search engine, not the web page
If I do a search for something, I get the Google search fine, when I click on a link it never goes to the site, it always goes to a random search engine and sometimes freezes my computer. I created a new, alternate profile, but it does it on that one too.

If it's happening on more than one profile, it sounds like a malware redirectiing you. Try doing an antivirus scan first.
