My browser is being hijacked and I am being directed to
spurious sites instead of the required sites.

Can anyone please help ???

Your PC is probably loaded with spyware that is also hogging resources.
There is an excellent article about spyware in PC Magazine:

Their Editor's Choice is Spybot for spyware removal. It's free.
