Is this a virus? spyware? adware?
Whenever I search google for something and click on a result it takes me to an irrelevant site (mostly pornographic and advertising sites). Is this some kinda spyware/adware? How do I remove it?
I've already got an antivirus (Avast), antispyware (AVG), and a firewall (Zone Alarm), and they're all up to date, but none of them have detected anything

Let's see what's going on here. Please download the HijackThis installer from http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en...HJTInstall.exe.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis. Click Do a system scan and save a logfile When the Notepad window opens choose Edit -> Select All to select the entire log, and copy and paste the log into a reply post. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.
