Hello
A quick look around on windows update redirect, found references to Trojan/malwares.
Surprisingly, some managed to resolve the issue by using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware ......

Sorry that I'm not alowed help you any further..

Hi Smash and welcome to the forum,
Following on from georgeks post I'd like to suggest that you do the Prework ( Follow the link in my Signature), and when done post copy and paste the resulting logs back here in this thread.
We can then ask the Security team to check them for nasties after which we can either get you clean or look towards another solution.

Thanks
