    Default Pipas.A and unwanted directed links from google

    Hi guys,

    when I make search on google, and click one of the links, first one or two times I click the link, I am directed to different websites(e.g. lycos, zapzilla etc) than the google search results showed. In the third time or so I click the link again , I am directed to the correct website. I had a virus and I installed Norton AV and deleted the virus. I have Adaware SE personal and recently installed spybot S&D. Spybot found Pipas.A and I removed it and after rebooting the computer spybot found Pipas.A again. I removed it again and think it will appear again after rebooting. This misdirection problem with google links could't be solved yet, although I ran all above programs.
    I am not sure why this happens and what pipas.a is but I want to keep my security and privacy. I scanned with blacklight.exe and it could not find and hidden application, but I could copy the log file if needed.

    I ran hijacked and here is the log(I ran it after removing pipas.a with spybot but did not reboot the computer-if that makes difference)
