is it google that's screwed up, or is it me?

Every time I use google now, for example i search for "word"

http://google.com/search.php?aid=A0013&hl=en&q=word

I get a load of links that have nothing to do with "word," I'll only get stuff like, "buy Word on amazon" or "get a secure credit card" or something of the sort.

Is it some virus or adware? I don't know, i've adaware SE and mcafeed my computer's ass already.

link doesn't work for me, says error, searching for word gives me office, wordcentral and the like. hmmm

hmm indeed. maybe i've got some spyware that redirects me to some fake "google" page... i'll look into it.

check your hosts file, some spyware or trojans fiddle with that so you think your going to the right site when in actuality your being directed somewhere else, in this example google. If thats whats causing it anyways.

download the Microsoft Antispyware and run it, it is seriously a VERY good antispyware. I'm impressed.

...google.com/search.php?aid=A0013&hl=en&q=word

in my experience i've never seen an "aid" in a google search url, sounds like a redirector to me, if it's on your system AW and McC may not be able to spot it if they've been tampered with
