At random number of times, when I click on a link from google's search page, it will be redirected to other sites. I caught some information using "Live HTTP headers" (Firefox)

Here is the info (**In this case, I've search "gfxworld", click on the first result, and it is redirect to other sites):

h**p://64.111.198.178/click.php?c=2deeb88f01618a6f1bb29ddd8800&d=084a9fcb0000195b005369bb

The sites them selves might just be re-directs. I would test this theory by doing the same search and clicking the same link over and over. It sounds like it is happening a lot so you should notice if you really have a virus or not.

Regardless I would make sure your anti-virus and spyware program are up to date. Make sure your firewall is up as well. The free ones do not vut it so just go out and purchase a program if you do not have one
