This problem affects all search engines (google, yahoo, msn etc). When searching for an item, The results pull up, what SHOULD be the site, based on the descriptions. But the link is not correct. For example. Searching under Wells Fargo. Produces the following info.

Wells Fargo Home PageStart here to bank and pay bills online. Wells Fargo provides personal banking, investing services, small business, and commercial banking.
nationwide.com - 18k - Cached - Similar pages

Description is correct, but link is nationwide.com.

I have run the following programs and they have not solved the problem, only discovered a few cookies

McAfee
Sbybot
AVG
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Spyware Doctor
Registry Mechanic
SUPERAntiSpyware

Anyone out there know how to fix this problem? I need my google back! THANKS!!!!!
