Is Google Broken?

    It must just me but I can't figure out what I could have done to make this happen. When I search for anything on Google I get very strange results.

    For example, these are the first three results for a search for "McDonalds"

    McDonald's
    Corporate site for the Golden Arches serving such favorites as Egg McMuffin and Big Mac sandwiches and french fries for lunch and dinner.
    areaconnect.com

    United States
    Visit McDonald's in the United States and get food nutrition information, franchise opportunities, job and career information, promotional information,
    pronto.com

    McDonald's Video Game
    Making money in a corporation like McDonald's is not simple at all! Behind every sandwich there is a complex process you must learn to manage: from the ...
    cookingclub.com

    ---

    As you can see there are completely random URLs at the bottom of each search result and when I actually click on the results I go to that completely random site. It's hard to imagine a way in which a search engine could be more broken!

    Am I the only one experiencing this? I figure I must be because I haven't been able to find anyone else talking about it...

    And if so... why?

    ***

    EDIT : I think I figured it out... some sort of 7.7.7.0 malware thing... not sure how in the hell my computer got infected. But at least that explains that...

    Second Edit : Now the problem is I can't figure out how to fix it because when I search for the problem "redirect 7.7.7.0" I can't get any real search results... I wonder if this is some scam to get people to buy anti-virus BS? Annoying as all hell.
