It redirect you because they are getting ad money to do so. Its like an aggressive banner with a scare tactic mixed in but not harmful to your machine.

Goldman Sachs Now Dominating Dark Pools Trading [View article]
I day trade and our firm clears through Goldman an we use Rediplus (Goldmans Trading Platform). Goldman is always trying to push sigma and dark pool on us. They guarantee that we will see better executions, but a few of the guys in my office tried it and said they noticed no better fills and no savings. What I found the most interesting in this article is how Goldman is the biggest player in computerized trading. This is interesting because we used to make a lot of money sending out thousands of bids and offers a dollar or two away from the closing print in after hours trading. This edge has been destroyed by computerized trading that constantly front runs your orders by .01. When you send the orders and try to jump in front of the program by a penny, the program is right back in front of you within a fraction of a second. I then tried to send 99 share lot orders because the program doesnt work against odd lots. Goldman shut me off the next day and I had to attest that I would never do orders less than 100 shares. Shady business.
