Firefox & Safari keep redirecting me to random websites

[Vero-D]

My problem is that I'm being redirected at anytime, it can be from a bookmark page, from typing on the address bar, from a Google search, it doesn't matter but it is getting very annoying.

I changed my DNS to an openDNS, but the problem persisted. I installed and ran ClamXav, it didn't find any malware or problem. I decided to create a new airport connection with openDNS. The problems is still going on.

Any suggestions in what to do next? I tried updating my router firmware but on my router's website I don't see a tab or an option for "Firmware" (I have a Motorola router with AT&T).

Please, help me!

MacBook
OS X 10.5.8

Try flushing your DNS cache on your Mac. Run this command from your terminal window.

dscacheutil -flushcache (for 10.5 and 10.6)

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder (10.7 and 10.8)

If this doesn't do it you can always try resetting Safari and Firefox as this may be a browser hijack and not a virus

Hope this helps
