aggregatedsearch programs why arent they ILLEGAL?

I'm fed up with having my Googl searches disrupted and redirected by aggregated search programs like gomeo and the newest offender something called trusearch.net

Yesterday I got redirected from news reports about Blogger to a Newport law Firm!

Yes I call that should teach me to always use teh cahced url but really these autobots that do redirects should be illegal or something!

Why arent they banned? And if they are illegal who can I report trusearch.net and gomeo to?

Update:

G I do regular weekly anitmalware scans uisng one of the programs you suggested !

Doesnt anyone have any ideas about what can be done about these public nuisances!

    The reason these is nothing done about is because nobody controls the internet. I would suggest scanning our PC with both of these to remove google redirect.

    Superantispyware free edition.

    Use the quick scan option.Superantispyware free edition.

    Malwarebytes free version.
