Google Redirect Virus?

[pokemon4597]

Boy, am I in a tizzy! Just a few days ago, while I was making a search on Google, I clicked on a result and was redirected to another, very strange site. I think it was Scour.com. I simply thought, "Oh, that's weird," and went back to the search page, where I continued my business. Then it happened again, a few hours later. Still, I thought, "Darn Google. Doing silly things..."

Then it started happening more and more frequently, to the point where I thought it could be a virus of some sort. Thus began my journey of several hours attempting to find a solution. After trying more anti-malware clients than I can count (AVG, Malware-Bytes, SUPERAnti-Spyware...) and all of them coming up with nothing, I'm very worried.

I've read that this could be a backdoor infection? That these websites I'm redirected to could be transmitting my info. to shady characters? I just don't know what to do... I've read that ComboFix could help, but I've been reluctant to try it since I've also read that it can be dangerous when used by non-professionals. Any help anyone could give me would be most appreciated!

I'm by no means computer illiterate, but when I start to read about hidden files and rootkits in drivers, my head begins to spin.

Thanks in advance,

Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....
