I keep remove it but didn't work.
I don't really know why it comes back all the time while it's just a Chinese website for shopping..

@Melisa: Seems you are infected with an adware based/PUP as AiTaoBao known to be bundled a lot of unknown programs which may alter your browsing settings.

Highly insist to make a current thread from removal section as mentioned, but try to download some scanners and clear all of your browser settings, also check your proxy settings that needs to be clear of.
