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.
