Possible virus? Google search results links hijacked

I'm trying to understand a new problem I have run into with my iPad. Recent google searches have not been able to direct me to the link given by google. Almost all results are redirected once they are clicked on. I would understand if these were some of the smaller less reputible websites but this is happening with pages like Cnet. Has anyone else run into these problems?

When you say redirected do you mean you first get an almost black page that say something like site has moved and fi you do not get automatically redirected click here?

Does the redirection get you to the right site?

Have you tried same thing with you computer?

If works OK with computer what is the DNS (address) are you using for both the computer and iPad. If not OK on both what are the DNSs.
