Links go to wrong websites
If I search something on Google or another search portal, my request brings up a bunch of links like normal. Then when I click on the link it brings me to totally different websites than it's supposed to. This only started after downloading the new version. It does this every time. For instance I just searched sams club chesapeake, va. The links showed up like normal, Samsclub.com came up first. I clicked on it and it brought me to this junk consumer search website. It's like the browser has a virus or something. Very weird. It does this with every site I go to since I have downloaded the new version... If I were to type samsclub.com in the url it works fine. Just can't click on any of my search queries. Any help?
Thank you

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