Computer virus maybe?

Okay, so whenever I go to Google or Yahoo or Bing! and click on a link, I get redirected to random sites like yellopages or shoppingcove or dex or delvefor, and it doesn’t matter what I search. Opening link in new tab doesn’t work. Typing the address directly into the address bar is fine, but what is going on? How do I fix it?

What I meant is that these sites have paid someone to redirect you to them.

Hence they tend only to come up for people who also have the Browser hijack.

Hence if you use someone elses working computer, and search for shoppingcove or some of the other things then you can find stuff like this
