Issue with Google Search reulsts

Ok, everytime I use google to do a search, I get the results and before I click the link I make sure it's pointing to a proper address. But once I click, I always seem to be redirected to some 'I won an IPAD" page. If i them use my firefox "back" icon, it brings me back 1 page before my google search.

Is this some malware? Scanned my system with SuperAntiSpy but it didn't bring up anything weird.

Scan with malwarebytes.

Also, check your proxy settings in both firefox and IE. If there is a proxy set on 127.0.0.1 (any port), then you have a virus.

Yes I second Krom scan with malwarebytes. I personally don't leave my home network to wander the fast realm of the internet without spybot and malwarebytes running 8)

Once had an internet browser hack that did something similar and I've seen an other user mentioning something like a googleredirect virus he or his wife fell victim too.
