Browser redirect (where is the problem)

At university, when opening several websites, including this one, i got redirected to a russian website (normally with malware, spyware, scareware,....)

I didn't pay much attention because i just tought the computer was infected.

Now, i arrive home and when lauching all my default separators on firefox, one goes to a russian website, it got contained because "no script" stoped all javascript.
Now, i'm pretty sure i haven't installed anything that contained malware, but just to be sure i'm running a scan.

Thing is, everytime i come to dc-talk (for the 1st time i open the browser), i get redirected elsewhere, out of all separators, the dc-talk one is the one that starts to connect elsewhere.

I would consider this my problem, but then it came to mind the redirect i got at university.
Am i that unlucky that i got 2 infected computers (one beeing my own) or is anyone experiecing the same thing?

I'm just a little lost of where and how to attack the problem.

I noticed that the websites change everytime so i decided to a search and see if the websites i saw the other day were on some malware database.
I went to see the website (javascript off) and this is what i got.
The website ************ is (or was) utilizing the Sitelutions Redirection Engine. Unfortunately, the URL has been entered incorrectly, or the site has been deleted by its owner. Below are some of our other services and features that we offer.
This might explain why the adress changes and why it doesn't exist anymore, however, i still don't know why i went to that page in the 1st place.
Can impulse check htaccess to see if hasn't been touched, because i feel that the problem comes from here.

I saw this too for a bit, was being redirected to something gross on youtube. But it hasn't happened in the past 12ish hours?

I wasn't sure what you were talking about until, 5 mins ago, it happened to me twice ! Maybe get in touch with the Webmaster for a report ? I was redirected to a very dodgy malware site, not sure if I got infected or not.

I'm on a Mac using Safari. I changed to Firefox, don't know if it will make any difference.
