Some users on my site are being redirected from it to a fake antivirus site?

Typing it in google and clicking a bookmark too it is doing it, typing it in the addres bar is fine.

I can see three things:
1. You lost control of your Domain Name. If you let it expire, someone might have snagged it. Do a ‘whois’ search on your domain to make sure you still have it.

2. Your actual website host has been compromised.

3. You may well be the victim of DNS Cache Poisoning. I’m thinking that if you still have control of your domain name, that this is the most likely culprit.

DNSStuff has some tools you can use to see if you are vulnerable to poisoning: http://www.dnsstuff.com/

    Look like you have adware. Try using Spy Bot search and destroy.

    also try downloading and running superantispyware for free and lavasoft adaware. Sometimes you need to use more than one anti spyware. Using these in conjunction with spybot search and destroy should take care of most spyware
