I get directed to http://www.yahoo.com/
Why would running a web server on your machine make any difference here?

That's very odd. Have you tried flushing your DNS? (assuming your on XP)

Sounds like it's in your popup blocker you posted a while back?

The popup blocker isn't currently active.
shop.kazaa.com also does the same so it is something to do with ads.
