Is there any way to stop opening this site in my browser?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I had this problem, it seems to have gone away now. I already had Spybot and Windows Defender, and I tried Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware, but then I gave up. My Trend-Micro recently expired (useless for this problem), so I got my preferred AVG free edition, ran a full scan, and I haven't had any more weird pop-ups to lameplaying.com or cinemazation.com (I think it was . . . ). Note: I also installed and used the free trial of the new AVG PC Tuneup in a short amount of time. Hope this works for the rest.
