Hello Richard,
We are sorry to know that you are facing the redirected websites issue.
May I know the name of AVG program installed on your PC and whether it is free, trial or paid version?
These kind of issues occur when there is a adware or malware program installs without your knowledge.
We request you to start uninstalling all unknown, unnecessary programs from your computer, make sure you don't uninstall the windows programs.
Also remove all the weird, unwanted add-ons, plugins, extensions, tool bars and search bars from your web browsers, if the issue persists, reset your browsers once. This should fix your issue.
I use Chrome when serfing and It often happens that I get re routed to sites which have no bearing on what I am doing. e.g. when in a site and clicking on a link, I get re routed to junk sites. How can I stop this irritation ?
I am using paid AVG Unlimited and Tuneup
