There are certain websites that redirect to something else in my browser. Currently, yahoo.com redirects to www.niravkachhadia.com and facebook redirects to "wiki does not exist". How can I fix this?
When this problem happens, it affects both my firefox browser and my internet explorer. I have tried clearing the cookies, running virus scans, and malware scans and clearing the dns cache.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
