Okay, I think one of our PCs at my office has a bug. When doing a search on Google, the operator clicks on a link and some window pops up leading us somewhere completely different than the website the link is supposed to take him to. Before hitting on this completely different website, the address bar has mattsearch.****** in it. It changes so fast I don't have a chance to see what else it says. Then we are redirected to a completely unrelated website. Does anyone know what this is all about? Thank you for any help you can offer!

Have you looked at the Add/Remove programs to see if there's anything suspicious? Have you done virus and spyware/malware scans?

Yes, I have checked the Add/Remove Programs and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but can check again tomorrow. I have also run a scan with Ad-Aware, and while it detected a lot of stuff, which I removed, it didn't fix the problem.
