Whenever I search for something on google, the search results are displayed normally. But when I click on any of the links, they take me to another website. This happens with all the links and I am directed to that same unintended website and then it start showing error messages like -- " your computer has been infected" or "virus scan required". It's clearly a malware or something, but i can't figure out how to get rid of it. Please HELP!!

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:
