Laptop is going so slow - Search engines showing wrong website when clicked?

[andantesash]

hi there.

just over the past 2/3 days my laptop has been so slow in doing things, i can have a program open for ages typing away and then the program will just go all white (how not responding looks) for a few minutes then show it up again.

also, it takes so long to load up google at certain times. but when it does load up - for example; say I type computer forum in to google, it shows up with all the websites listed as usual but if I click the first computer forum this is the pages it produces, then obviously I go back and reclick again;

1st time clicking it - http://uk.ask.com/web?q=computer%20forum&siteid=10000856&qsrc=999&l=dis

2nd time clicking it - http://md-sites.com/search.php

3rd time clicking it - http://www.answerfinders.info/findx...NMlU1TkRFM1pURm1Oek5sWVdRNE5UYzVOQ0k3ZlE9PQ==

Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this problem?
