Flush your DNS cache and check your HOSTS file for malicious entries
Also, are you using IE? You can check for a malicious browser add on and disable it
Check this thread for some removal tools:

You may want to try malwarebytes scanner to remove it if SEP or above tools cannot detect it

Endpoint SWAT
Check the IE setting for startup pages - maybe the malware added this address as a homepage - and every start of the browser triggers the page to be opened - IE allows several tab to be set as homepages simultanously.
Some interesting info: from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUn19m7nHaY
Symantec and Microsoft have just taken down a "click fraud" botnet that sounds similar.
That white paper is definitely interesting reading.
With thanks and best regards,
