Google certainly doesn't behave the way you describe, so you may have
inadvertently downloaded some malware/spyware. Try running Windows Defender
from the Vista start menu. Alternatively download Malwarebytes Anti Malware
(wwww.malwarebytes.org) and run that too.
It is possible that your home page has been hijacked but that requires more
spe******t knowledge. You need to run an application called 'Hijackthis' to
create a file of what is going on on your PC. The file needs then to be
looked at by a Hijackthis expert. There are newsgroups available that can do
this for you, but you will have to give them time to analyse the contents of
the file.
