Being a computer nerd, it was probably actually your browser.

I believe this same thing happened to me when I accidentally downloaded a web browser search engine. Check all of your plugins and delete sketchy-looking ones as well as ones that you didn't install.

Also, go to "Uninstall My Programs" on your computer and uninstall any weird or non-belonging programs. 

The redirecting thing will most-likely happen multiple times, and if it does, download "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" and run that. It'll take care of it nicely.

It really isn't dangerous, as far as I'm concerned.
