When I click on some links, I get re-directed to a spam website instead of where I wanted to go
Especially when using google, I will click on a link to a webpage, but instead of going to that webpage I am being redirected to some other webpage that is trying to sell me something.

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