This has happened in the last few weeks. I've never had
this problem before. I just get broken links or it takes
me to a page that says the url doesn't exist for ANY
search engine I use. Be it Google, Altavista, AskJeeves
etc etc, NOTHING works. What is going on?

Sounds like a DNS hijack - possibly Qhosts.

Check your entire C: drive, including hidden and system files and
folders, for "hosts" file.

Get Spybot S&D and HijackThis, and use them frequently and regularly.
