Researching the problem, I came across concerns that the Chrome browser could have this behaviour, and the suggestion was to disable extensions. I thought this might be malware, but I have scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes, including anti-rootkit, and there is no indication of anything wrong. If I go back to the search results and click the same link, it usually goes to the correct site. Frequently, but not always, when I click on a link in a Google search result, it takes me to a page advertising something instead of going to the page indicated. I use the Firefox web browser with Adblock, and I run AVG anti-virus.
