Why are certain Google search links going to random sites?

I was looking up a solution to a Skype problem but every search link to Skype's pages keep redirecting me to http://www.anrdoezrs.net/(insert long string of random numbers and letters)

Some days later, I was looking up for a certain Vimeo site via Google and somehow most links go to http://www.jdoqocy.com/click(insert another long string of random junk).

I don't want whatever those sites are, I wanted the actual links.

Extra details: I run Windows 7, my browser's Google Chrome, and I have run Malware Bites to fix this but no dice.

    I think that you may installed some Chrome extension that can do that. Please can you use other browser (IE, Firefox, Opera, etc) just for quick test.

    If this issue keeps - then your computer can be infected OR your ISP is changing links. If issue is fixed then you need to clean your Chrome extensions by disable them one-by-one and nail down "bad" extension.
