when i initiate a google search for example 'construction' a sequence
of redirects happen
a) http://mypinkelphantz.com/?p
b) http://bridge1.marketplace.net/xtrk.php? k=.....
c) http://28_48582969.admarketplace.com
d) http://clicks.smartbizsearch.com
and so on until a page of unrelated item shows up such as a cow survey
for Holsteins.

This mainly happens with IE, Firefox search engine. Cui appears to be
unaffected.

I have applied Malwarebytes,Spybot-S&D,F-Secure Black Light,
Norton,Windows Defender.
None have found the culprit.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
