Page keeps redirecting...any advice?

I have scanned my computer with Bitdefender, Malwarebytes, Hitmanpro and Windows Defender, and every one says there are no threats to my computer.

And yet the page still keeps redirecting, I have pop ups in the right hand corner, and music plays mysteriously. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Update:

It is many different sites it redirects to.

    Redirecting is a symptom of a rootkit, and most, if not all normal security software can't detect/remove them. You must use anti-rootkit programs to get them. Try these two programs, no need to install, just download to the desktop, and double click the icon(s) to open the scanner.

    If TDSSKiller doesn't find it, then try this one:

    Lol! Very naughty of you although to disclose Yahoo's upgrade for 2010 due to the fact now they are not able to faux they spent the whole year engaged on it. I guess they are going to have got to come again one day from their all-day lunch for the leisure of the 12 months and perhaps run a spell-verify on it or whatever.

    Tell me which page it is.Can you post the link here?

    EDIT: It redirects only when you visit some specific page or it redirects when you visit any page ?

    If it's one specific page you're having a problem with then tell us what page it is.
