How do I get rid of the re-direct on my browser?

Question

I use Google Chrome and I can't seem to go where I want without getting a re-direct to yellow pages or some nonsense like that. I keep getting sent in circles,,, driving me crazy!
I've tried Malware bytes, SuperAntispyware, AVG, in Safe mode,,, everything I know how to do.

Try flushing DNS it should help you:

For Windows XP:
Click Start>>Run then type cmd and press Enter
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter

For Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Click Start/Windows Logo then in Search type cmd and in programs section right click on cmd.exe and select Run As Administrator and then in command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

NOTE: THERE IS A SPACE BETWEEN ipconfig and /flushdns OR ELSE THE COMMAND WON'T WORK

Edit:

I have tried all 3 of these answers and none of them have worked,,,, any other suggestions?

Does this just happen on Google Chrome ?

Does it happen if you run your browser without add-ons ?

also try deleting java cache.

Assuming that the programs you mention are up to date, I suggest you uninstall Chrome, download a fresh copy and reinstall.
