That is a tracking redirect. You can avoid it by installing uBlock Origin.

Hi! Thank you for your reply - should I be concerned by this? Does this indicate a virus or something? Thanks!!
It is standard Google behavior and not a virus. However many people consider it unwanted and are concerned by it enough to block it.
