It only happens in Firefox on Windows PC. I've cleared cache and cookies, contacted tech support. We can't figure out where the cause is. Firefox Mac doesn't have this problem.

When you go to my website, it will either send you to httpsget.com or seektoexplore.com depending on your Ad Block settings. There is no malware or virus on a computer because I confirmed it's happening outside of my location on other people's computers. I even tried deleting htaccess on the website and it still happens.

Thanks for any clues.

Yes, cleared cache and cookies so many times that I'm getting sick of re-logging in :)

There are many ways to generate a redirect, so you might need to check beyond .htaccess for code in script files (e.g., .php or .jsp or .aspx files, etc.).

Google has a forum for webmasters that provides useful advice on this:
