You probably have a virus or something.
My PC did that after I accidentally downloaded a .zip file through my email, and it was usually when I was using google that it would redirect.
In your case, if you are using Windows, I suggest restarting your PC and as your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when the boot menu appears. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
When your PC is in safe mode, scan your PC again for viruses and just to make sure, download "malwarebytes" you can download it here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware...
and scan with that.
After you are finished, you can try going to google and see if you have the same problem.
