well I have tried most of the suggestions (thanks BTW) but I am still having issues. My main problem is google search result links taking me to the wrong sites. It is driving me nuts, has anyone else encountered this?

Yes it is pretty common. These google/yahoo hacks go back to 2005 so there are lots of nasties and malware that are capable of this behavior.

Goto download.com and get the anti-malware program "hijackthis". Run it and disable any BHO(browser helper objects) if that does not solve it then post the Hijackthis log to the forums, it is a simple button push from within HJT.

I've used a lot of other programs, this one kicks the most ass.
