Lately whenever I search for something on my MSN homepage and then try to go to one of the sites, I get re-directed to a generic/bogus search site. Any idea as to what's going on and how to stop this?
Yeah it's called spyware, aka adware aka malware. Your computer is infected badly. Sometimes you can fix it, sometimes it's so bad that you can't. My ex's father infected one of my PC's so badly that I had to wipe it and start over. You will probably have to download a malware remover onto another PC and transfer it to the infected one, as usually the malware will block you from going to sites that will let you remove it.
