Problems with clicking links off google

Hello,

Everytime i do a search on Google and want to click a link i get redirected to some random page. For example i will click a website about Psychology for university and get redirected to some random shopping spam site. I have to copy the url of the link shown on Google and paste it above to access the site.

It is very frustrating not being able to just click on links and go directly to the site. I have run scans on my computer, cleaned out my cookies but no results. What steps can be taken to resolve this issue?
