Google/interwebz having problems for me

Kay, so I got a virus a couple days ago (Thinkpoint virus, it's gone now), but whenever I use google and click any link one of the search results, one of two things happen:
-I end up in a random website for insurance/cars/videos/courses
-I end up in a website that's blank except for a few sections of code and firefox crashes
In both these results, the page takes a minute or two to load, which is unusual.
Did these problems come up from the virus, and how can I solve this problem?

Are you sure the virus is gone?
Maybe the virus changed some registries of your browser. Try doing a complete uninstall, and then reinstalling.
