do you have automatic updates turned on, also a redirect is usually caused by trojan/virus .

If anyone else has this problem, It is more than likely caused by CONFICKER. If you cannot access trusted antivirus sites then this would certainly be the case.

Before using removal tool, perhaps it's best to find out whether there is something to remove? http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/infection_test/cfeyechart.html :)
