Updates redirect to google

Hi, this is my first post so don't be harsh.
Anyway, lately while surfing th net my internet browser has been redirecting me to sites not even related to my subject. Strangely, if i manually type (copy paste

) the link it will usually get me straight to the site.

So after a little bit i noticed my antivirus program wasn't updating and windows was notifying me to do the same. So i tried it and it would always say connection error or something of that sort. Then in my control panel if i click (windows update) my browser opens and it will bring me to a weird (english google

)

And to top it all off the other day i tried to defrag my disk and it wont even start

i searched for an awnser and somebody was having the same trouble as me

If somebody could please help me with these issues i would really apperitiate it
