I was in my file manager zipping up some directories. I wasn't completely paying attention as I do other things when I'm doing things that are slow on the Webtv
I looked up at the screen and this page was there.
http://www.searchnut.com/?domain=yugiohpics.net
What happened? I looked on Google and saw a few mentions of hijacking/spyware associated with that site.

So far it only happened the one time when I was zipping a directory. It happened shortly before I posted here. When I tried again it zipped ok.
Maybe it was a weird one time thing but I'll be paying more attention and post if it happens again.

Read at Jack's that it happened to someone else,sounds like a webbie problem.
Bad redirects

Someone yesterday mentioned landing on odd websites, diffent from what they had selected. I've had that happen, too.
Just a little while ago, I hit my fav, set up for MyYahoo, and it went to this:
http://landing.trafficz.com/index.php?domain=yahoo.com
Someone mentioned being directed to results from http://www.searchnut.com/ .
I had that happen, too.
These are the sort of sites which take advantage of typos to send you to a page mimicing a search engine which list sites to buy things, presumably to get paid for clicks.
Going through a fav key can't cause a typo. So why are we being sent there?

I've had some Webtv weirdness the last few days also. Keep getting mail delivery failures from addy's I know are good. No sure why the redirects are happening. Obviously a Webtv problem. Could be MS IP's are being targeted for the redirect, or it could be a hundred other things.
Glad you like the avatar CB.
