Answer 1

thats strange.. try scanning your comp for viruses/spyware

Answer 2

You may not want to hear this but you may have picked up a virus.  There are viruses out there that do nothing but redirect your web browser.  There are a few that will prevent you from getting to ceretain websites based on how often you go to them.  Get a GOOD anti-virus scanner.  (I use AVG from http://www.grisoft.com )  Scan your system and go form there.
