On the search results pages, the links don't direct me to the sites - I get some other page. When I try to go back, I get a "redirecting" tab. Have I inadvertently changed a setting?
It worked fine until a few days ago. All of a sudden, I am not being directed to the linked site from the search results page. I'm seeing a message next to some results asking if I want to block all results from that site. I never noticed that before and don't know if it has anything to do with the problem. The only way I can access the site is to copy the address and paste in the address window.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
