That can be an indication that the site you're visiting has been compromised and a redirect injected into the code.

 

It wouldn't hurt to do a virus scan though. ?

The other option is a browser hijacker or a DNS attack, but a reputable virus scanner should pick up the first and the second is very rare and complex to do.
