When browsing the web, I occasionally get redirected to "/cgi-bin/redirect.ha". Closing the browser or flushing the cache seems to fix it sometimes, but not always. Sometimes I'll see from Google:
Error 404. That’s an error. The requested URL /cgi-bin/redirect.ha was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
AT&T support was useless on fixing this issue.

This is a known bug in the Motorola NVG510 modem supplied by AT&T U-Verse. It has nothing to do with your computer or browser, and it's not a virus or abuse attack:
Basically, when the NVG510 looses connection, rather than giving you an error message it redirects all traffic to "/cgi-bin/redirect.ha". Thus visiting to "" returns a redirect to "/cgi-bin/redirect.ha". The browser is free to cache such data, and may do exactly that. Thus you sort of randomly ended up with "redirect.ha" even after your modem retains connection.
