localhost redirecting to search page

I have dowloaded wordpress 3.5 and xampp and they are succeessfully insatlled in windows 7 and also changed the wp-config.php file in wordpress and placed it in ht docs and also created a database. My problem is when i load localhost/phpmyadmin it appears and when i load localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php it takes me to my home page which is http://static.flipora.com/websearch.html?ref_type=redirect&src_type=bg&tv=7.104&t=7.104&u=12606685. It takes here whenever i type localhost/(anything). Please tell me there is problem with my xampp or wordpress.

Some browsers need http:// prepended before localhost and similar URLs to work. On Chrome I need to add the http:// part to access localproject.dev URLs properly (otherwise it redirects to Google search). Firefox seems to work normally with these kinds of URLs.

That's most likely malware.
