That definitely sounds weird. I'll advise the owners to see if they know of any trouble.

Wow that is odd, if you can screen shot it please do as that will let us know exactly where it is redirecting you to.

So we think your browser has been hijacked.

Download malwarebytes, get it up dated, and do a FULL scan. Show results if it finds anything, make sure all are selected, and delete them. Restart. And report back.
