Every one of my Google searches has been hijacked. Three different removal tools (Windows Defender, Ad-AwareAE, and Spybot Search&Destroy), I have installed today do not find the problem

I am using Firefox 3 and IE7... search results take too long (3-5 seconds) to display the results, which btw are bogus. See example below for a search of "malwarebytes" yields website links to www.monstermarketplace.com, nexplore.com, and www.moxiesearch.com.

Similar results for any search term in Firefox or IE.

Then I came across your site and downloaded malwarebytes antimalware, scanned my PC twice and received similar results., and sometimes it wants to direct me to security-antivirus2009.com. I know that one is bad news!

I am at a loss for what to do next... hopefully someone can help.
