Sorry about the mistake on the OS, dave.

How aboutt this tack? Something has told your computer to go to a Real.com site when X happens. We don't know what X is. Have you tried using System Restore to put your computer back to its factory settings so that the command to go to real.com is countermanded?

That's what worked for me when a well-meaning music site broke the connection bewteen my MIDI keyboard and my computer.
