Well as you see its taking you to a page which is.. iwsearch.net/l/youtube.php

Try to go to a different webpage and see if it is prefixed with that URL.

somtimes it is spyware/malware that got onto your computer and changed your browser proxy settings to point back to your loopback (127.0.0.1) so every time you attempt to access a webpage it will re-direct you somewhere else.

Check your proxy settings.

Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings.

should be disabled or set to automatically detect.

EDIT:

Another search result I found is that this happens in Firefox if you hit Shift+Enter instead of just enter...

I was actually able to replicate this just now.
Your shift key might be stuck.


Try using IE or check your shift keys.

The picture of the woman's face in the address bar should be your first clue that bad things are happening on your computer.

Hmm,this laptop was sent to me by my school a few days ago and i really haven't used it for anything but school work and using the forums.

Not a big deal. I knew something wasn't wrong with this laptop unless it was something the previous user did to it. hehe
