I get redirected to unwanted web sites during searches from the browser ONLY, never from the toolbar. Is this the same malware problem as discribed for redirects from BOTH the browser and the toolbar?

Did you do a malware check?
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.

We had a malware issue that has been resolved but every time I do a search and click the link I want it does not go to the page...instead it directs to something totally different.
