I'm getting referred to sites I didn't ask for when searching
When I enter search criteria either in the seach box or URL box, I keep getting referred to sponsor sites and cannot seem to get to where I want to go.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
