address bar

[Michael Bentfeld]

Hello,

I've run into a problem with a web address on my address
bar. Every time I try to go to an ordinary site (like
cnn.com for example), I get redirected to an adult web
site. I've tried clearing my history folder, but this
doesn't seem to help. When I look at the addresses in my
address bar, they all appear like this (using cnn.com as
an example):

http://provlivation.com/cgi-bin/r.cgi?www.cnn.com

Is there a way I can eliminate this prolivation.com site
from my computer and prevent my computer from every being
directed there again? Thanks to anyone who can help.
