Regardless of whether I use Safari, Chrome, Mozilla or whatever, when I open a google page, search google, or go to the google home page it automatically starts an endless string of redirects and pop-ups that continue until either I shut the browser down or my mac freezes. The first redirect goes to this URL
http://60.191.124.250/dns.php?AIMT=h...=1311745388917

I have Sophos anti-virus software which picks up nothing and I tried switching my DNS number because I found that there were several popular forum threads discussing a similar but different issue having to do with only Google searches being redirected.

I don't know how to solve this problem but it's incredibly irritating and I'm concerned that there's some sort of malware on my computer.
