The redirects may occur no matter where you click and can only be stopped if you uninstall clearersearch.com from your system. It is advertised as an add-on that will stop your searches from being tracked. Ironically, it will collect your personal and non-personal information. And that info will be shared with questionable third parties. If you download the add-on, search.myprivacyswitch.com will be set as your homepage and search engine. It is rather useless as it provides no results and instead offers to search using Yahoo, Bing or Google.
