Computer broken?

[540dude]

Whenever I type something into a search engine and try to click on the site it gives, it does a bunch of crazy stuff and takes me to some random website. wtf is wrong with my computer?

I also can't install updates... it's giving me error code 80244019 I'm about to throw it out the window

Do you have an exmaple of this "crazy stuff" please? Print screen or link to see if we can re create it?

As for the error code, a quick google shows its a network connection error, I'll look more for you in a while.

A bit odd...

I scanned with AVG and some type of anti spyware

I would go for Virus/Spyware.

AVG isnt the best, also, for spyware, go get Spybot S&D

I use this as Spybot gets on my nerves

Allso empty your temp files and you cookies and any thing else like that to. With modern day spy ware as well they tend to hit the restore bin. so lose the system restore after you find any or if you find any that way they cannot have a place to hide.
