OMFG lol
if you are using the free version it will keep doing this on purpose so that you upgrade it.
they do this to force people to buy the upgraded version.
which means they get the money and you get an outdated software that was developed by an undergraduate person sitting in an office and laughing at you.
ahh funny world, but amazing how it works effectively
good luck
its yo boy john

Tractionize changes your browser home pages in an attempt to trick you into installing malware. You first need to restore your home pages. Here's a YouTube guide that goes over the process:

You may want to check whether there are any extensions causing redirection (which may not be detected by antivirus).
Also have a look at your system settings using software like HijackThis or Autoruns. There is a file called HOSTS (no extension), usually in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc that can also redirect traffic to bad IP addresses.
One more place to check is your router, especially if you never changed the default password. There are DNS changing scripts that can point your browsers directly into trouble.

This website is indeed with the virus, and the virus is triggered, you may enter them will be poisoned
1, if you go over, you do not have antivirus software prompts virus blocking, then you do as I say quickly antivirus it.
2, if the killing does not solve the general problem, you can open the YAC-depth scan.
After 3, killing all viruses processed immediately restart the computer, and then conduct a safety examination, remove redundant file system cache, to avoid secondary infections.
