Browser redirecting...

My browser keeps redirecting and sometimes an extra window will popup directing me to some off the wall site. I guess I've got some malware or something.

What's a good free program to clean this crap out? Thanks!

Might I suggest running the "3 Stooges":

1) Kaspersky's TDSS Killer (check for Rootkits, repair/replace/cure if possible)
Link: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363

2) MBAM (as previously mentioned by hobbit709

3) SUPERAntiSpyware (looks a little "rogue-ish" but it's an excellent program)
Link: http://www.superantispyware.com/index.html

All are free programs, I keep MBAM & SASW installed on all my machines to use as on demand scanners every month or 2.
