Sounds like you have caught an infection - in the name of a browser hijacker... which hijacks your requests and sends you to another site. The owners of the site you are being redirected to are not necessarily to blame.

To rid yourself of this nasty annoyance you need to do the following.

1) Download HiJackThis (if you do not have it)
2) Download Adaware (if you do not have it)
3) Download Avast! Anti-Virus (if you do not haveanti-virus software)
4) Disconnect from the internet
5) Run HijackThis
6) Run Adaware
7) Run your Anti-Virus software
8) Reboot your computer
9) Connect to internet

Use your new software regularly. Your anti-virus software should have picked this malware up - maybe it is time to change to a better AV solution... like Avast!

If this helped you then please help me and vote kindly, Thank you

It may well be some form of virus or spyware.

You should rule out nasty stuff first.

MBAM !

for a free one its pretty darned good !

From a CLEAN computer download and put on a flash drive.

Copy to your DESKTOP on the suspec computer.

Run it but dont change any options just use what it offers.

When its done let it clean anything it finds.

Its where I always start with an infected machine.

As for antivirus AVOID Norton or Mcafee but try the AVG FREE version MBAM should clean up without buying

Only continued use would require purchase As for too many applications that would be up to you to decide what you REALLY need and dont. Most toolbars are a waste of both time and space and can hog computers down. Maybe a good clean up is in order ?

May I also suggest you download
"hijackthis"

It is a program that can make a report on what you have running in such a way that you can post that information to certain sites and experts there will look at it.

They will then give you reccomendations as to how you can remove programs or fix some issues that may be upsetting your computer.

Dont post the log here but follow the nstructions and help the program offers to send it to one of the sites it will offer you.

If you understand startup lists you may even be able to spot som things yourself that you dont want to run and disable them from hijack this.
