Google search results linked to another site

    Has anyone run into this recently: you do a search in google and results come up and you click a link for a site... but it takes you to something else.. like the link is getting hijacked? the site it goes to is in the same profession but clearly different from the stated link provided by google. If you go back and do it again... it takes you to the right website.

    Has happened to me 4 times in the last 2 days and it makes me wonder what's going on and if this has anything to do with adwords.

    Anyone seen this or know what they're doing?

    Are you clicking on an Adwords link, or just on a result in the "natural" search engine results?

    It's very possible that is what is happening. You could have been infected with a virus that does just that. I remember it happened to me many years ago. All of a sudden, clicking on just about any link brought me to an adult site. Solution is to get a good anti-virus and security software.
