Default Web site redirection

When I try to og onto certain websites like Pogo Games it begins to load and then redirects me to another screen that warns me I am about to enter an adult site (which I am not). Does anyone know how to stop this? I have run virus chekers and adware chec
kers.

Third.
It is known as Scumware. Visit these sites. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are really good.
Download, install, run, update and run again; one or all. They are all
good, FREE utilities.

Run CWShredder first!!!
