Hello,
Are you saying that for example I typed sky news into a search engine and clicked on the appropriate link it would then take me to some other random site?

It could be a couple of things, I had the same problem a week ago on another system, updating the hosts file solved the problem for me.
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm half way down on the left there is a tool called hostsman. download this and let it update the file.

if you have not already done so;suggest you take a restore point , then download, fully update reboot and run each of these on full deep scans ; you may well have an infection there

these may take some time to run so give them a chance; see what if anything they find?
Which windowes version are you on;what antivirus program are you running, when did you last update it and when did you last update windows?
