I believe some kind of browser hijack has occurred on my computer, here's the symptoms:

1. I use the Google toobar to search for a subject
2. I click on any item on the returned list
4. I am redirected to a web site other than what I wanted, usually one selling something related to what I originally requested in my Google search.
5. The redirect appears to be random, not to the same site every time, but almost always to a site selling something related to my Google search.

I've run 4 different anti-spyware products (SpyBot, Ad-Aware, XoftSpy & SpyHunter) on my computer and while they do find and remove various spyware infestations, this problem persists.

Any help with this would be appreciated -- I WANT MY GOOGLE BACK!
 
Thanks, I was looking at the majorgeeks web site earlier today.
