I have the Google toolbar installed on my IE browser. I've gotten some kind of malware or virus. When I try to use the Google search feature, it is hijacked and the browser ends up elsewhere. If I go back and try again it goes through just fine. Can you help me get rid of this problem? Thanks!!

I would remove the google toolbar.
Most toolbars cause more problems and aren't really necessary IMO

Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

Did you run a virus/Trojan scanner? Did you run a spyware scan? Here are a couple really good free ones:

Personally, I Love the Google toolbar for all its functions, the spell check, powerful searching, auto fill and others.

Get this piece of free software, its called CWShredder (Cool Web Search) basically it locates Cool Web Search hijacks that take you to OTHER sites rather than what you wanted.
