I keep getting this http://www.stopguard.com/?aid=vtstop&lid=doomredir hijacking my screen, and it's really starting to piss me off.

How do I kill it ???

I don't even want to go to that website...

Most likely you have picked up a Virus or some 'spyware' that hijacks your browser.

Check for viruses by using the 'Housecall' tool at:

Trendmicro

Then, check for spyware with Ad-Aware:

Ad-Aware

Hopefully, that will nuke the little bug causing your problem...

For the Ad-aware part, after you install it, make sure you do the "check for updates now" process before running smart system-scan.
