Browser hijacker. See this article on how to get rid of it and prevent it from happening again.

The odd-looking numbers are html codes for Japanese characters, that is all.

Yes, they are Japanese characters, but the browser is still being hijacked in search and that is because of a virus or spyware.

You are quite right, Ray, I had overlooked that the odd results were returned all the time, no matter what the search was for..
