Your computer probably has malware. Run ComboFix and that should fix the issue.

I'm on a highly secured military network. While it's not impossible that there's malware on my computer, I think it's more likely that something's up with the website.

Edit: There's no choice of browsers on this network. It's IE 7 or nothing.

May I suggest that you refrain from surfing the Internet using IE7 while on a secured military network.

Unfortunately there is no other option. You use the software you're given, and that's it.

If you're browsing random sites that could well be infected, even if you weren't using IE7 the fact that you're on a "secure military network" doesn't stop you from being just as vulnerable as anyone else browsing random sites. Sounds to be like the security of your network has at least one hole in it.

You can't even use an upgraded version of the browser? IE7 kinda defeats the point of a "secured" network.

The "secure" US networks are also just full of malware, because at the end of the day you have a bunch of random enlisted men clicking around in IE 7. I've heard plenty of accounts of the malware on these things.

Any network connected to the general internet (even NIPRnet) is not a highly secured network. Maybe highly regulated but sure as hell not secure.

IT seems your site is hacked:
