Why are my Google and Yahoo search engines redirecting me to other search

engines? spyware? ? Im usually pretty good about detecting spyware or malware, but other people have been getting onto my computer here recently.
I go to search for somthing on google, or on yahoo, and I get results, and they all have correct links, etc. But when i go to click on them, a new window pops up containing another search engine. I am never directed to the website I want to go to, just more search engines like info.com, and other useless crap. I figured it'd be spyware but my Adaware is not detecting it, and for some reason my computer wont let me accsess lavasoft.net/.com to update my adaware, Accordding to my browser the site doesnt even exisit! somebody.. help !

You could have a malware infections, most likely spyware too, or virus...

www.free-av.com

www.superantispyware.com

www.malwarebytes.org

I use these anti viruses on my pc and they detect and remove things very easily. I would definately try the anti spywares and anti malwares first.
