AD Ware

I picked up some AD ware I cant get rid of. Every time I hit a link in Google I get sent to another search engine page. One advertising cars, music, porn or some other crap. I scanned with several different spy ware programs and Mcafee virus scan. Didn't find anything. Still getting sent to these pages when clicking on a google link.
I have been banning these web pages as they pop up and that has helped some. However, there seems to be a never ending supply of them. I just increased my Fire Wall settings and seeing if that will work. Pretty annoying when you have a slow connection.
Any other suggestions, anyone have this happen to them before?
