When i use Google search and i click on a search result website i get a redirect to another website such as http://tornadodevelopment.com/search.php which leads to http://www.informationgetter.com/search-results.aspx?keywords=soap+dispensers, not the address Google shows.

An example is Google search shows www.soapdispenser.com and when i click on it i am redirected to http://aiyaaa.com/default.pk?tsearch=soap+dispensers&search_button.x=0&search_button.y=0 and immediately to http://www.infomash.org/100/7139/search.php?k=soap%20dispensers&sid=2b4fd1863238803c335ca201f8027928, not the site listed.

Some times the hijack site prevents the back button from working.
 To get around it i have to copy and paste the Google search result in the address bar and hit enter and i connect to the legitimate site.

I have ESET smart security and scan often without result.

This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

If the above malware scanners don't find it or can't clear it, post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:
