When I search Google and click on the results, sometimes I'm redirected to another URL. Do I have a virus?
It redirects me to another URL and then my address bar scrolls through about 6 other URLs before it settles on a random foreign site. Then if I go back to Google, do the same search and click on the same link, it will go to the actual page that I was trying to visit.
Do I have a virus, or does the site I'm trying to visit have an advertiser that is session-hijacking?

it seems you have a vundo variant, or it could be a malware
run an antivirus check and a malware check, and if your scanner detects something, copy the name of the virus/malware on to google and there will be dozens of links to help removing the virus

I've experienced this before. I hate to say it but you may have a virus and/or malware on your computer. I had this issue when I downloaded Perfect Defender 2009, which turned out to be a fake antivirus that would redirect me to infected websites. What's also a bummer is the fact that probably all of those sites you get redirected to give you viruses. My solution would be to find a trustworthy antivirus and do a full computer scan.
