<p>While trying to send bitcoin I keep putting the correct address in the 'pay to' section but it keeps sending the bitcoins to the wrong address. While clicking the preview section on electrum the 'output' says a different address, is this why it isn't sending to the right address?</p>

Can you give examples? If you don't want to reveal the exact address, blank them out apart from the first few characters (as there are different types of addressrs which have distinct firdt characters).

1) Do a malware scan 2) Download the non-scam version of electrum from the [official website](https://electrum.org).
