Hi,
There is a rootkit malware out there that affects search sites like Google - Check the link you are sent to ( in the URL) and compare it to the link you actually chose...If different, you may have the nasty overclick.cn - see here for details:
and
BTW, never run a computer on the internet or a network without a good anti-virus/anti-spyware program, regularly updated. ( It would not prevent overclick, if you have it, but will prevent most threats - and there are threats out there!)
