When i do a google search (or Yahoo) it either goes straight to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570318.aspx or gives me the list of results. When it gives me the results, I click on one but then it ends up putting this, http://www.goingonearth.com/search.php?q=microsoft, in the address bar and not loading. How do i get it to behave normally?It happens on firefox 5.0 and Aurora.

I did have some malware issues recently, I thought i had resolved them all after running several different scans but Superantispyware just found 10 more, 6 of which are browser hijackers.

Before this though, i disabled some of my addons and it started working correctly.

Thanks for the help.
