The redirect had nothing to do with the malicious URL when it appeared in Google Search. From what I understand, what was causing a "redirect" for me in Chrome was the Symantec Browser Protection extension, which displayed its own specific block screen. Since the Symantec Browser Protection extension doesn’t have a back button, it only has options to ignore and report as a false positive. When clicking on Ignore and continue to site The extension redirects to a malicious page, giving the impression that something was redirecting to the website. After I disabled the extension, I figured out why. It’s a good extension, but it’s very aggressive and generates a lot of false positives.
