I got the same issue.

I go on a website and all the sudden another window pops up with "results.google-analytics.com" or "search.google-analytics.com". It has often ads for other sites for example. black single dating site

how can I can I stop that from happening again? I didn't download or do anything, just visit websites, that I visit on a regular basis.

OS: Windows XP Firefox Version: 3.6.6

What i did worked for me, i hope it works for you. I put Add Block add on to firefox then the next time i got miss directed i added a fliter which blocks my brower from allowing this and from being highjacked anymore.
