Hi there,
You have addware that redirects everything to sites that pay them.
Try downloading, installing and running a good spyware application.
Some good ones are:
Spybot S&D http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Addaware http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php
I would use them in the order listed. Spybot is very good and will likely find and remove the malware. If it does you don't need the others.
Malwarebytes is also good and easy to use and update. It would not hurt to use that one in addition to Spybot.
Hope this helps,
Al
