Geek Speak » in reply to Malware causing problem with links

My Google Toolbar

It's where I run into problems.
I can type in my query word or phrase, then page sload with live links to investigate. It's when I click on one of those links from the Google website that I am redirected to ANOTHER search engine instead where I can search for the same thing; often with professional, busines related headers using my own key words. It's annoying.

I'm having to wite out the url and type it into my browser. Two of my virus scans have isolated some malware, but it has yet to get rid of the problem. I saw an article on TechnologyCrunch that this is quite common and has infected quite a few professional and private computers.

Here's an article from earlier this year that mentioned this problem:
