When you say you found a link that tells you how to stop it happening, did it tell you to do this?
To remove that program, go to the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs. Look for the application named "Browser Address Error Redirector" or it may be called "GoogleAFE". Select "Uninstall."
Something else I found:
Go to “Control Panel”
then “Internet Options”
or
open “IE”
and click on “Tools”
“Internet Options” then
click the “Programs” tab
Next click on “Manage Add-Ons” (give it a sec to load)
Disable this "CBrowserHelperObject"
In the file column it shows up as “BAE.dll”

Similar to what I just posted, found this also (same files to look for):
It seems that Dell has added several new Google related programs to their new machines. One of which causes a blocked advertisement to return the user to a Google/Dell search page.
The solution (provided by Jill C) is to uninstall Google AFE (older versions) via Add Remove.
Newer versions of the pre-installed Google/Dell add-ons = uninstall - Browser Address Error Redirector
Eric Osborne sends along this tip: If the above Google programs are not listed in Add Remove ...
Go to - Internet Options | Programs | Manage Add-ons | disable CBrowserHelperObject
According to this, it could be that IE is trying to block some advertisement in the forums you're trying to access, and ends up rerouting you to the Dell/Google search page.
