search engine problems

wheely

Hi, Bit new to the internet game so bear with me.
Whenever I use a search engine (mainly Google) it no longer produces a realistic set of results like it used to. Clicking on the link then brings up promotional sites or re-directs me elsewhere. (not every time but more often than not) Its getting annoying to say the least! I currently run, Norton 2005 and Spyware Nuker on my PC using windows XP. Have also tried various other Virus/Spyware packages to cure my problem but to no avail. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Here's hoping,

Neil

Put a screenshot of what you are talking about.

I google a thousand times per day, I have not come across what you're talking about.

Left side (as I look at screen) I get links from search, right hand side are the links people have paid google to display.
