Hello @ and welcome to the Community!

Your browser can be redirected because of extensions that have been installed, or from other third-party PUA's (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

I'd suggest submitting a support ticket or giving us a call. Our Team will be able to ensure that any files causing redirects are completely removed :)
