Funny Site Behaviour

[aspoz]

Guys,

For the last few days when vist the Bachmann site I get redirected here:

http://174.36.98.150/0d7e9dd105437ae93ff52eb545393273/interior-colors.php

and that also happens when I move between pages on the site (I can stick with the Bachmann page by hitting the "stop" button before the redirection takes effect).  It hasn't happened before the last week or so, and it's not effecting any other site I visit, and nobody else seems to have reported it.   Is it me or you?

Someone is messing with the site. I could not connect for a short while. My Browser said I was connecting but all I got was a blank page which told me the site was being checked. I have seen that before when a site is doing maintenance.

Awhile ago there was  a virus that a lot of people said they got from this site i got the virus as well and had to fix my comp and reload, i noticed after coming to the site everytime i would get a notice that there was a java update available. The virus was hidden was a Trojan that was downloaded in the bogus java update.

Some how it is linked to the site, to this day i get a warning pop up that says some items are being blocked, but when scanned the website shows clean. So i just close the pop up window,  and leave the blocked items blocked I suggest everyone does this.

The below always keeps me out of trouble.

If you use Windows, use AVG free. My stepson uses W7 and AVG free.
I use a Linux Operating System which is quite secure. Using it since 2003.

I had the same problem with a redirect to the same site. And it was preceded by a couple of JavaScript updates.  Even a Google search and a click on the Bachmann site result took me to the redirect for several days.  Finally, another Google search today got an additional result, which go me back here when I clicked on it.  MAYBE it is a virus, but it is only affecting my access to this site.  Maybe McAffe and Norton are being out-foxed?

This site is clean...

My Norton System 360 did pick up several viruses here which I reported to the person who does the B'mann's web security last fall. I haven't seen that kind of thing for quite a while now. There are occasional nonsense posts, usually in small clusters, which are clearly not normal but I've never gotten a problem from one. Of course, I never try to respond to those or anything, and I close my browser right away when I encounter one. The last time was about 10 days or two weeks ago. I think the site is at least normal clean if not sterile.

Don't doubt it, and never really thought it was a virus.  It was more as if I was seeing through the site to the ISP behind it, as it seemed to be a form of "that page no longer exists" type message, even though it demonstrably did exist.   However, it seems to have stopped (I dumped my cookies just in case), so what it was would now seem to be unknowable.
