Answer 1

You probably have some sort of spyware installed on your computer.

Download Ad-aware, and remove the spyware and stop  going to shady sites, downloading suspicious files and software that you know should be paid for... unless you can keep your computer safe and know how to explore the internet safely.

Use Adblock if you have firefox... it'll help.

Answer 2

be sure to mark and enter your catagory

Answer 3

My brothers computer does that, I think it is some sort of spyware, He will use a search engine  to find results and then copy and paste the URLs that show up for each search result to get around it. It dose it on all search engines except lycos on his computer. .

Found this link for you, someone else that has your same problem gets it resolved, I don't understand any of it but you might.

Heres another with a bunch of relevant links

Here is a cnet news article on it, they call it a "PremiumSearch" program, it makes a fake Google page that looks real with results that look real but they send you to site that are in on the scam. When I search fro PremiumSearch, there are way to many sites claiming to be instructions to remove them, I figure most are bogus spyware removal sites so i dont know what link to give you, sorry
