I get redirected to a 'sales' type site when I select an entry which is a result of a google search.

After I do a google search I select one of the resultant entries to go to. Rather than get there I redirected to some kind of a 'sales' site which does coincidentally have one or more of my search arguments in the items which appear on the page.

Do a malware check with some malware scan 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 the database before doing a scan.
