Default Pirates Hijacking GWG?

Occasionally when I try loading up a new page on the site, Guild Wars Guru, the loading of my Explorer is forcefully stopped and re-directed to this site: http://www.guildwars.cc/?OVRAW=guild...MTC= standard
Actually, it's happening pretty often, just most of the time it stops half way by stopping the loading of the page.
Also, it's impossible to use Back after it forces you onto the site.

Sounds like you have some spyware/adware on your computer that is hijacking your browser. Use either or both of these programs to scan your computer for any problems:

Adaware SE: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/

Thanks, that's probably what it was. I Already have both of those programs, and after I posted that someone else that lives here scanned for spyware and found an insane amount, heh.
