You got owned!

Basically, someone installed some software into your browser (probably without your concent) and now you are subject to their insane attempts to gain traffic/knowledge of key words (probably want to know what does the best) on google.

visit window's update daily and you probably wont run into this problem as often

To remove it, search your registry for the tracking domain (where your clicks get redirected to first) then delete all instances of it.. By the way, what is the domain name which you click on before you get your results?

This has happened to me a few times even though i stay current with all M$ Updates.
