Weird Firefox redirecting and slowness

[tomlaffs]

Hi guys. Just noticed tonight that Firefox isnt following some of the google links im clicking and is sending me on to a variety of other sites, mostly search engines.

I have reigstered AVG installed and malwarebytes. Just downloaded HijackThis. Would be extremely grateful if someone could tell me how to remedy...

Here is the log:
