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

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.
