About every five clicks I get a redirect to this site. I've fun malware, virus, etc., programs and still can't get rid of it.

Hi !
Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g.:
SafeSearch Incognito SearchAssist Incognito
When you find any : remove them.
Also look in : Advanced => Network tab => Under : 'Offline Web Content and User Data'
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so, even if you already have run malware scans :
Would you please take a look at this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.

Unfortunately this did not solve the problem. HitmanPro found a couple things but didn't fix this one.
Any other suggestions?

Did you look for unfamilar or suspicious looking software and scan with all malware scans ? (Do not use 'Zemana', though)
Do you have any add-ons, and if so : which ones ?
You could consider installing uBlockOrigin :

And also check these settings :
3-bar menu => Options => Security => under 'General' : Make sure all four boxes are checked.
Did you try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware?
