Google Search Link Redirect

I might be paranoid, but i just did a google search for a website and was redirected to another site after clicking on the google search link.
I tried going directly to the website by typing the name in the browser and it worked fine. A did a google search again for the same wesbsite, clicked on the link like before, and it worked fine like normal. Other google searches seem to be fine.
Do I have something to worry about as far as malware or viruses on my computer, or is it possible google, or the website I was trying to go to, is infected? Or, is it nothing?
I would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.

I would not be to worried about it, perhaps a glitch in the search engine. You could reset Safari if that is the browser you use, just read the list of items it resets and make sure you are happy to remove that information.

    I am not sure what you want. Do you want to open links in a new
    tab / window, or the same window you are in?
    Type '''about:preferences#general'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Check the settings under''' Tabs'''

  • Every time i click on a link on a google search, it redirects to the google homepage.

    Whenever i google search and click on a provided link, either in the toolbar or on the actual google homepage, it redirects to the homepage. Google works fine on Explorer, so i know it's a firefox issue.

  • Lately, for some reason, whenever I click on a Google search link, I get redirected. Why? What can I do to fix this?

    So far, I only have trouble with redirection after Google searches.

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

  • Google searches being redirected to ad sites

    Just since the last update of Firefox, many of my Google searches for episodes of my favorite TV shows present the proper site (usually wikipedia), but when I click on the link, I'm sent to random advertising sites. It's driving me crazy. I've run Malwarebytes, and Spybot Search and Destroy, and they have cleaned me up, but I still get the same garbage. How can I get rid of this stuff without dumping Firefox altogether?

    Such a redirect is usually an indication of a malware infection.
    So if using the above listed scanners does not fix it or if you are blocked from installing those scanners then it is best to ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the <i>Popups_not_blocked</i> article.

  • Dead Google Search Links in Safari

    After making a Google search, I hit the 'back' button, only to find all of the links on the page frozen. This happens ALL the time in my Safari Google searches. Is anybody experiencing a similar issue?
    For example:
    1) I search "Martin Luther King" in Google (typing into the Google search box in the Safari toolbar).
    2) Google shows the search results.
    3) I click on an item to read it.
    4) After reading the article, I hit the 'back' button to return to my search.
    5) None of the search results are clickable. They're all dead. Not a single link on the page works. (Control-click does nothing, either)
    This happens on a daily basis, with nearly all of my Google searches.
    I have done many re-sets of Safari caches, etc. This incredibly frustrating problem continues.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • How to make google-search to redirect to first result (automatically) ?

    Hello,
    I have just installed the latest version of FF on my windows 7.
    When I search using google-search by either:
    1. Writing somethong in the adress bar and pressing enter
    2. Writing something in the search box (thats on the same line as the adress bar)
    I am not being redirected automatically to the first result.
    How can I change it so that I will go to the first result automatically after pressing enter ?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    hello belgiamit, you can do it for the address bar the following way:
    enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''keyword.url''' & double-click and set that entry to
    http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

  • Google search link gives me an error 404

    Firefox 4.6.18. Last night when I typed a search into the firefox supplied google search box I received the message error 404(not found)!!1. Since this is a google supplied link it should have no problem with the address. I have just completed an scan on system with norton 360, malwarebytes and superantispyware and nothing came up.

    Firefox manages its own cookies, so clearing the IE cookies won't have any effect.

  • Google searches get redirected to unwanted search engines (adware)

    I have google on the toolbar but it is also on homepage. If I put in a search criteria such as "Top 40 songs for 2010" it gives me a list which includes billboard's website and description. However, when I click the link or any similar links on that page, It redirects me away from billboard and puts me back at some unwanted search site such as scour search . That site looks like another such engine but it mostly contains advertising or companies selling a product not even related to my search.

  • If I click on a google search link and return with the back arrow on the browser it takes me to the top of the page and not the link I just opened unlike Internet explorer

    I run a search on google.com and click on a link that comes up near the bottom of the page, After I read it and then use the back arrow (pointing left) to return to the searches it takes me to the top of the page to the first link google found rather than the link I just looked at. This does not happen with other web pages using firefox or Internet Explorer's Browser (using google).

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.

  • Red blue yellow lines in safari under Google search links

    when I look up something on Google under each link I see red yellow blue colors in safari it's really annoying how do I turn it off

    It's hard to tell without a screenshot, but this may be font substitution by a bad font. If you have added fonts to your system with a CYR or SLAV in their name, try removing them.

  • Iphone5 - safari is set touse google search, but redirects to a bogus site

    When i use the web search in safari, it normally goes to google and displays my results.  However, a few days ago it started sending me to a yahoo page that says 'this page cannot be found'. And when I try to enter the URL for google, it takes me to a google look-alike, but it isn't actually google. Nor does the page work.
    Search works fine if I set the phone to Yahoo or Bing, but I much prefer Google.  And frankly, I'm concerned I may have gotten some sort of iphone malware...

    Copy and paste would be easier. :)
    I don't understand why they can't add a setting allowing the user to choose in which mode to open external links.
