Alan, I've randomly been getting an error when I click an email about an update to a forum post. Instead of taking me to that thread, it takes me to a website, screen cap below. Re-clicking on the thread link will take me there, but for some reason, it randomly gives me this:

Just a head's up. I have no idea what causes it.
You has a redirect virus...

1. kaspersky has no indication of a virus
2. this is me clicking a link from inside of my hotmail account, linking me to 3sgto. i do not have this error message appear for other forums i'm on.
3. this only happens about 1 time in 50-100. not very often.
4. i was told by dk77 that this appears to be a vbulletin issue.
I get this often when using my work PC for some reason. Never does it on any other forum. It did it right after I viewed this thread and hit new posts so I just hit the back boutton and posted about it. lol

i see a lot of issues like this with vbulletin. i don't know what's the implication in that. i was hoping alan would chime in and give us a 411 on it.
At work I use IE everywhere else I use Firefox. I don’t know if it’s that or some security stuff on the work PC. Like I said it doesn’t do it on any other V-bulletin sites I use. Like your issue it’s not a big deal but it’s a little annoying.
This happened to me maybe 2 days ago while google searching something. Hit a link to 3sgto and got something like that. Only time it has ever done it.
MyFileStore is redirect malware.
The bad Request issue has to do with IE. I get the issue often, only on 3sgto though.
Ditto...but good luck telling him, i tried already :DQuote:

ZERO malware detected.
then i did this:
Google redirect virus – Remove Manually(latest update)
again, nothing in devices, nothing in registry, nothing in msconfig.
if it's a redirect rootkit i've got on my PC, this would be the most obtuse, difficult to locate malware ever invented--because it apparently doesn't even have a filename.
any other ideas? i'll remind you that this doesnt' happen from search results on google/yahoo/bing. this only shows up inside a vbulletin email to my hotmail account notifying me of an update to a forum thread, and re-clicking on the link will take me to the thread. there is no search engine involved.
