You need to clean your machine. Nothing at all is wrong with the
www.microsoft.com url. You might want to download two free programs and then
run both of them.

Go to www.lavasoft.de for the free version of Ad-Aware
Then go to http://www.safer-networking.org/ and download Spybot Search &
Destroy.

Running each of them and allowing them to correct problems that they find
will probably take care of your problem.
