After some pretty bad spyware problems, I was able to get rid of all but one.
When I go to sites like google, yahoo, MSN, etc... and do a search, when i click on the links of the search results, they do not take me to the corresponding sites, but instead take me to popup windows which are random. Site URL's for the popup windows are similar (go.google.com, go.yahoo.com, go.msn.com) The problem also happens in Firefox. One more odd symptom seems to be intermittance because the last time I started my computer, the problem seemed to be gone, but on restart again, its back.
