404 redirects to hitpointer.com

[Guest]

whenever IE gets a 404 error and goes to the error page i
am redirected to hitpointer.com which then redirects me to
fassia.com.

the only way i have found to block this is to disable
third party browser extensions but then some of the
software i use wont work

can anyone give me instructions on how to fix this
