    I have a vague memory of a similar problem - and it was caused by a corrupt look up table which was unable to find a given website so defaulted to another website.

    I'd try another browser like Firefox and see if the problem still happens

    sounds like you have some malware , do the usual , get crap cleaner , avg free and uninstall any software you have like toolbars.

    remove any programs you either dont need or never use.

    run regclean.
    Have you tried turning it off and on again?
