How do I stop numerous websites from redirecting to the same site instead of loading the site I want?
If I enter xyz.com, abc.com or def.com the sites always get redirected to a different, same site. Those first three fictitious named sites all suddenly want to redirect me. What can I do to stop this so that I can see the sites I want?

What is that same site? Might help us determine what type of Malware you picked up.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
What are the links you are using? And where do you end up?

juicyvideos.com (purposefully misspelled) automatically redirects to tubegals.com Yes, the juicyvideos.com site is porn, but it is legit. That site wasn't even open when I stumbled upon tubegals.com. It would seem that whatever I was infected with came from the later.
Sometimes, adult sites, and even normal sites, can redirect you because of the way the link is set up. It could also be an issue with the site itself.
If you want, send the link to me via Private Message.
Sometimes, repeatedly trying the page can get you to the page.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
