I have google on the toolbar but it is also on homepage. If I put in a search criteria such as "Top 40 songs for 2010" it gives me a list which includes billboard's website and description. However, when I click the link or any similar links on that page, It redirects me away from billboard and puts me back at some unwanted search site such as scour search . That site looks like another such engine but it mostly contains advertising or companies selling a product not even related to my search.
