I had been using another browser for a few months because I did not want to lose the web pages I opened within Mozilla. I began using Mozilla again after saving off the web pages. I see that Google's web page pulls in search results as I type in keywords, a feature I don't remember seeing with other browsers along with a magnifying glass icon, like a look ahead of what a web page looks like before clicking on the link.

With the list of search results, I click on the link and tell Mozilla to open the link in a new tab. I see the google icon, "loading..." or "testing...", then results other than the link I wanted. Those other results maybe bing.com, http://66.45.255.230/click.php?c=0920f96609cb269f1d0045095c09, http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X, Info.com, Supermedia Reverse Proxy (http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X)or whatever else. As for the link, I managed to press stop before being redirected.

This is with any search results listed.

I thought it was Google.

Changed to Instant is off.

Nope. Still the same issue. Have already gone after malware. Tried resetting the redirect value to 0.

Above results also occur when opening the link in a new page via right menu click.

Copying link location and pasting in a new window is displaying results okay.

When resuming use of Mozilla, an update was available and installed. Did not experience the above issues before the update.

Running version 3.6.12. Running Win XP Pro SP3.

Had to go back to IE and Chrome/SRWare Iron.

Example: Google keywords: rental cars

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.
