Just tried to get to Google's website on my PC this morning and it looks like there's something on my computer that's forcing it to AnswerFerret's website whenever I try to go to Google.
What do I do?
Sheesh,

Are you using IE? If so, its most likely spyware. Try running Ad-Aware, eWido, or whatever spyware removal software you want. You can find most of it at download.com.
If you can't get anywhere from that computer (keeps redirecting you), either try a different browser or download the install files on a different computer and install them on the infected computer.

Check out your machines hosts file to see if the spyware has simply hardcoded an IP address for google.com. Then you go through the usual steps: use two or three spyware removal tools and carefully clean everything up.
