When I do a google search in IE8 all links are redirected to adsense.previewmediastation.com.

My antivirus software (Norton) is not picking anything up. How do I get rid of this?

Does it happen in IE safe mode or in Chrome? – SLaks Jun 28 '11 at 16:09
Not chrome. What is ie safe mode? – TheMoot Jun 28 '11 at 16:27
In the Start Menu, under accessories. – SLaks Jun 28 '11 at 16:30

You probably have a BHO (Browser Helper Object) that is being evil.
Go to Tools, Manage Addons in IE and disable everything.

Also, look for suspicious entries in shexview and autoruns.

Then use HijackThis to examine them and remove any from companies you don't recognize, or that are blank. – KCotreau Jun 28 '11 at 19:13
