FireFox is redirecting my Google searches, I have Symantec and have used PCTools, Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, and SuperAntiSpyware and still have the problem. I do not have the problem with Yahoo search or using Google Chrome. Does someone have an answer?

The page you referenced has not been helpful.

Here's the problem---when using FireFox 3.6.18, and I do a Google search, the result page appears properly, but if I click on any of the Google links, I go to any number of odd sites--yellow pages, quick search etc, accurate listing etc. If I copy the address and paste it in Word, I get a long string of stuff that is not the link.

When I use Google Chrome on the same computer, I have no problem. When I use Yahoo Search while using FireFox I do not have a problem.

The problem is specific to Firefox and Google.
