Google Image Redirect Notice?

Question

Recently, I have been experiencing a "Redirect Notice" every time I click on an image in Google. Instead of directing me to another website, it takes me to a white page displaying the following message: "Redirect Notice: The previous page is sending you to: [URL]. If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page." This issue only occurs when I use Internet Explorer; in Google Chrome, there are no problems. 
I have scanned my computer with Norton, which indicated that everything is safe. I also logged out of my Google account and cleared my cookies and cache, but the issue persists. Interestingly, my friend is not experiencing this problem on her computer. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?

Thanks to John Lemut, I deleted my cookies (History, clear recent history, check only cookies) and the problem seemed to go away, but then searched from a search page that I had accessed prior to setting cookies, I was once again faced with redirects. It seems that somehow my Google search settings, set via a Google cookie, had been changed to “tell the user when about to be redirected to an insecure site.” I was searching for an image of a recent murder suspect, and the redirects were going to the dark side of the web, so I think that it may have been a security feature that I accidentally turned on.

I can’t answer your question but I just wanted you to know I am having the same redirect notice too. I am pretty sure it’s not the google redirect virus as I had my pc was infected about a year ago and it was nothing like this.

This redirect notice only appears to come up when I do not accept cookies. More detail collecting by Google.

I have had the same if you hover you mouse over the image for a second the box will expand and then the image will open ok . It took me an hour today to find the solution.

I found an article that advised clearing cookies and temporary internet files (for IE). This link gives instructions for Firefox and Chrome as well.
