agreed, i dont think its on the local machine. as long as folks **dont update or download** anything!

a spammer is exploting a vulnrability in flash.  adobe just released an update which patches that.
apparently works better in firfox the chrome.

i also blocked a few more sites last night. 
what im looking for is anyone who is experiencing a redirect since last night at 9pm est.

OK, just happened to my twice while trying to log-in. Third time no redirect and it finally let me log-in. I'm still using Chrome, but it is up to date on Flash. Happened at 18:52 PST. Here's the URL it redirected to DO NOT CLICK THE LINK, just putting it for Alyssa's investigation:

Just happened to me twice. 10:45am PST, running chrome. I didn't catch the URL, sorry! But I think it was similar to cracksback.

Just got redirected again! This time to system-check.biz. And it told me I had a virus and needed to download a checker. I did not, but it wouldn't let me leave the page, there were infinite popups. I had to kill chrome from task manager! Now I'm afraid to go back to the forum. (Posting this from the Tapatalk app) :(

I just got redirected 12:52pm CST, I didn't copy the link since I saw this thread afterwards, but I'm pretty sure it was the software update one from a few posts up^
Running google chrome, I'm up to date on flash

I keep getting 'This URL is rejected.' messages. I literally have to load each page 5 or 10 times right now.

If you guys have a smart phone I suggest getting the Tapatalk app and using it, no issues there.

I know Alyssa is working on this issue. It's been hitting a lot of sites.

Getting redirected to a site that wanted me to download "Genieo"  ... some newspaper program app.  Not sure everyone is getting that one but it is some virus that may have found it's way into the script or computer.

Very sorry about all the problems today

I think a change i just made, might go along way to limiting the problem

let me know if anyone still gets redirected

When I got "this url is rejected" last time, I looked in my URL box and it was the updaterlp URL. So at least somehow the redirect was rejected
