I recommend Ghostery, just for the hell of it.

If you get redirects, it's either the website you are visiting does that on purpose, you have a virus/spyware, or something you installed toolbars/applications that are legit but have a purpose on doing that.

Searching Yahoo!, I see that you have the Google Analytic Virus.

I laughed a bit when it's a Google Analytic Virus and you are asking us to search on Google about it.
Now, if you can't get rid of it, it's your antivirus that needs to change, also, it's mostly a browser hijacker.

One method is to use HijackThis! and go to hijackthis.de to see what's infected, but if you don't know what you are doing, you can screw up your OS. (If a red X is something you know and trust, don't select it to be deleted.) :)

Recommendation on the antivirus and anti-spyware programs.
Antivirus: avast!, Avira, Theatfire, Panda Cloud, Bitdefender Free, or (I hate to include this but...) Microsoft Security Essentials.

Anti-spyware: Get the 3 popular programs Ad-Aware, Spybot: Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes; or just simply get Emsisoft's Anti-Malware.

Recommendation: Scan on Full, Deep, Thorough, entire Hard Drive, etc.
