    After i use google search engine,
    i get the list of links.

    For example if i google espn, the espn site will be the first one on the list.
    Then when i click on it, it leads me to http://hqsearchfoundmatchme.com/?q=espn. This occurs with every link on google. How would be able to remove this?

    This seems to be spyware. I can't find a reference to it on Google. Do you have any anti-spyware software installed?

    Here are direct links to Spybot S&D and Lavasoft Adaware. Between them, you should be able to get rid of most spyware like this (both are free).

    Spybot S&D: http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/spybotsd162.exe
    Lavasoft Adaware: http://cnettech-87.vo.llnwd.net/s/d...nal_en.exe?h=2013686fdad16fae6d07df11860c423a (not sure if this will work, but you can download it from download.com).

    Regards,
