When I go to search for something on yahoo or google, it redirects me to a different site. What causes this?

Question

If I search something and click on a result, it will take me somewhere like monstermarketplace.com or ebay. I think it is spyware, but have no clue what to look for. I have run McAfee several times, and it has not detected it.

Answer 1

try another program like lavasoft ad-aware or superantispyware.  also i don't know if mcaffee is that effective anymore.  i use AVG (google it to find it).  it's free and i've never had any problems with it.

Answer 2

try a program called NoAdware. it works well with those hard to get rid of bugs.

You might also want to try HijackThis. Its works wonders .
