This isn't hardware, but yea.
So upon visiting an ESEA page, I was immediately redirected to another page after the ESEA page was done loading. I know there are no redirects set on my router and I even checked my host file to make sure nothing snuck in and altered anything on my computer. I've never had a virus on my computer and so I'm basically wondering, has anyone else ever gotten a redirect from ESEA? And no, I didn't click on any ad on the page and it wasn't a popup, it was the page literally switching to another page instantly after it finished loading. I am also using Google Chrome.
In fear of people actually clicking the link, I'll leave the beginning of the URL out, but the ending of the URL is vmlmedia.net/jXr9mmBZ6j (DO NOT COPY/PASTE/BAD THINGS)
Edit: I honestly don't even pirate things.

Well I'm currently running a Malwarebytes and ESET scan and letting Windows Defender update (going to run a scan on that too). I've never had a virus and I'd find it hard to believe that something snuck through 3 AV's (and my MB is an active scanner, it's registered.)

open command prompt and try typing ipconfig/flushdns. I had this problem with other webpages and it wasn't malware, it was just an issue with my router.

Any comment ESEA?
Everyone, just do yourselves a favor and watch every tab of ESEA that you open up. If it starts to change screen, immediately close the tab.

I highly doubt this has anything to do with ESEA itself. This is most likely a browser hijacker on your computer.
Run TDSSKILLER. Google it if you don't know where to find it. Then run Combofix.
"HiJackThis" is another good tool, but that one isn't very user friendly and has the potential to blow up windows if you do something wrong, so take caution. I'd start with the first two.

I just find it coincidental that Crooked_ had the same thing happen.

Might be related: the ESEA site often refuses to load for me. This just started today, but I haven't gone on the site for a while.

"Of the 154 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 106 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent." - Google
Also, I found what page brings it up for me:

How to:
Go to the Open Bracket Playoffs (http://play.esea.net/index.php?s=league&d=bracket&id=5041), then go to Lower Round 5 and click on indust we trust. You will be greeted with that picture I just posted if using Google Chrome.
Now I'm JUST saying...I called it.
