Are these sites legitimate ones that you've used before, and now they're linking you to spam?
If so it sounds like your browser has been hijacked.

Its a virusy/buggy type thing....
Delete your browser history/cookies/session data etc and then reboot your machine....
Should solve the issue!

Broswer hijack.....
Try deleting the cache, running S+D Search and Destroy and maybe an online scan too.....
I wouldn't do any online banking until it's sorted!!!

We had this at my old work, try to refresh the cashe memory by pressing ctrl + f5 when you get redirected. Not sure of a fix, we were told that it was
a problem with out ISP.
hope this helps Dan

well quoted dan!
click start > run > cmd
then type
ipconfig /flushdns
after this download spybot search + destroy or Adaware and run it. It operates much like an antivirus and should sort any other problems
automatically.

I wonder if you've got tinyproxy.exe
Ctrl/ALt/Delete and look at running progs - if the above program is in there thats the source of your worries.
Spybot or adaware are the faves for getting rid but I had a hard time getting rid of tinyproxy....

Browser Hijack. You need to run adaware and remove the offending spyware!

As above - Spybot or similar.
If that fails it's time to roll out Combofix.

It's possessed, call a priest.
It's a long shot, but place it on the floor facing east, lay a ring of salt on the floor around it, and splash 2cc of mouse blood on the
keyboard. Don your ceremonial robes, and dance around it all in an anti-clockwise direction whilst reciting the lord's prayer backwards.
