We have small network. One server is dedicated as an application server using SQL that we access through IE. Some of us have this URL as a shortcut on our desktop. This works fine except every so often this URL directs us to a porn site. When this first started the URL was redirecting us to the actual URL of the porn site (it would show up in the menu bar). We added the porn site URL to our Trend Micro's blocked sites. Now the URL remains the address we want in the address bar but we are still redirected to the porn site. This is happening to two of us in the office. We both use Trend Mircro Internet Security. It doesn't happen everytime we try to access the server only occasionally and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when it works and we get redirected.

What can be causing this on two separate computers? Here is my hijack this file:
