It's making me mad randomly when I click on Google links to the page it re-directs me to some random ad related web page I have to constantly press back and try about 3 times after it goes to the site.

Spybot Search and Destroy removes spyware/adware that cause things like that... and worse things. I run mine at least once a month to get rid of all the junk. And it's totally free.

Agreed. And I second that, but also backing it up: Malwarebytes Anti-malware is another powerful tool and from my experiences, it removed some stuff Spybot cannot. But I still use Spybot as a backup.
