I use yahoo search but lately it's been really crazy every time I click on a link it redirect me somewhere else for example: I click onYoutube in the search it redirect me to another search site I never heard of. Help if you can.

you probably have very bad spyware. Download Superantispyware the free version. I use myself as this software will find what all other miss or unable to fix. Plus you will get auto. updates. http://www.superantispyware.com

Sounds like you have been hijacked but I don't have enough info to help you. Which website do you go to when you click on youtube? Please respond with URL.
If you are being hijacked to random sites you will need some technical assistance to remove the hijacker's software. It's embedded in your registry and thus will not be removed by anti-spyware. I suggest downloading TrendMicro's "hijack this" software and running it. here's a link:
