searching on internet
 
When using yahoo search or google search and the results come up from my
entry, I do not get the site I clicked on. instead it sends me to a cheesy
search engine site or the yellow pages or a site to buy stocks, stuff like
that. even if my entry comes back with a direct link to a site like
ebaymotors.com it will go to a site selling bladder control products for the
elderly!! I have Vipre antivirus and antispyware and even tried spybot
search and destroy, they show nothing wrong. any ideas

Your computer is infected with adware (or worse.) I suggest you show
your computer a professional as soon as possible.

Just a point of note...

Do remember that the first two or three entries that google returns have a
pastel-colored background.

These are "sponsored" links which could well account for where you have been taken
to, if it was those you had clicked on.

Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-)
