When the search results appear, I click on the link and get redirected to some other site (usually an ad or search site). When I hover over the link, the correct link is displayed but again when I click the link I get sent to some weird site. Any help is appreciated!

This same problem is repeated in other questions in this help forum. I have had the problem now for about a week. I have run all kinds of malware programs and it has done nothing to remedy the problem. I have run MalwareBytes, Superantispyware, Spybot, and Kerspersky and still have the problem.
