Chrome redirects you to a different link

PC is running XP Pro SP3

I’m having an issue where Google Chrome reroutes your URL.
For example, if I have a saved favorite to check the weather, it takes me there. But once I’m in it and click on a different link to search for weekend weather, the entire page changes to a shopping page.

Internet Explorer 8 does not do this. Only in Chrome

I ran all my maintenance tools (CCleaner, MalwareBytes, AdwCleaner, Junkware remover, TDSSkiller, Rkill,) A few file and registry entries were found and removed. Rebooted pc and ran tools again. PC came up clean. However the same website redirection reoccurred.

It only seems to be in Chrome

then there is a button at the bottom "Reset Browser settings" ?

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling Google Chrome after removing all associated files and registry entries. NOTE: Prior to this, I did run all the antimalware tools I use including several mentioned above. Thanks for all your help
