I have to back-track to the listing page, then literally type or copy/paste the URL shown in the listing to get where I want to be. The further I go in the search - say pages 2-10, I don't have that problem, just with the first page.

At first, this was a minor annoyance, happening only once in a while. Now it is happening with every click! Anyone know what's going on?
yes do a virus scan and you will see that you've been hit with something. The exact same thing happened to me and it really freaked me out. But yes, just virus scan it and you'll be ok once you find the culprit...
