I am redirected to another site everytime I use a search engine: google, yahoo, and microsoft. It doesn't matter what browser I use internet explorer or firefox it does the same thing. It brings up the search results I'm looking for, but when I click on one it opens up a new tab window and sends me somewhere completely different from what I was searching for. I noticed at the bottom of my web browser when I'm using one of those search engines where it usually says waiting or done, it would say waiting for web-analytics.google.com.

I am running XP home edition with service pack 3. I have avg anti-virus the free version, spybot, ad-aware, and Malwarebytes. when I ran avg I found a couple trojans and removed them. Spybot and ad-aware found some things also. Malwarebytes was working fine on my computer until today when I got an error message, so I uninstalled it so I can reinstall it. But for some reason my computer won't let me install it back, when I click to open and run it it doesn't do nothing. When it was working it would find the same problems everytime saying my computer needed to restart to fix the problem. So everytime I restarted my computer after using Malwarebytes I didn't have this problem. When I didn't run Malwarebytes I would get these problems. I will leave a log of a scan.

I know a little something about computers, but I am not an expert so can anyone please help me this has been going on for about 2 weeks.

Thanks in advance.
