    Try downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version) and running a full system scan with it. The program has a really good scanner and can block the website from coming up in the future. It can also run alongside Avast. Hope that helps!

    E - A little googling gives me the idea it is some kind of redirect malware/virus so I would definitely download malwarebytes and run a full system scan.

    Break that link, please. We don't want anyone clicking it by accident.
    Simba Code:
    (* Main *)

    repeat
      WriteLn('I am an idiot!');
    until(False);

    Thanks for the help guys, hopefully i can get rid of it :/
    Thanks once again for the serial, will test it
    And I think i messed the link too

    EDIT: The serial key atcually worked! Thanks! Will check back here later after the scan and see if this antivirus program finds it :/
    EDIT: The scan isnt complete but it blocks the website now so it wont connect to whatever the virus is linking me to

    Apologize if this post came late.

    This might be because of 2 reasons.
    1) IE is corrupted. So optimize IE for optimum performance Click here
    This will get rid of unnecessary temp files and spyware related files which is unnecessarily attached to the web browser.
    2)Your computer is infected with Google redirect virus which redirects your website to a commercial site.This infection is dangerous and needs to be get rid of as soon as possible.You can find the step by step instructions to remove Google Redirect Virus here

    Both these comes with video tutorial.So should be easy to follow.

    Good Luck

    I've had that before, I got so mad, i just reformatted my drive. Malware bytes is actually really good, but consider getting a better anti virus. I haven't had a problem since I installed Bit-Defender. It probably doesn't block all spyware/viruses, but it keeps me protected from nasty ones.
