No problem here browsing around the Elecraft web site using Chrome. Do you recall a specific link that did that?

No problem here ... but I've avoided the Chrome browser. 😂 73 K0PP On Jan 3, 2017 04:41, "Dave Fifield" <d...@ad6a.com> wrote: I've been noticing that every now and then, when I'm on the Elecraft website looking around, my Chrome browser will get re-directed to spurious ad websites instead of the link I clicked on the Elecraft site. Anyone else noticed this? At least one of the redirectors was to a website that pretends to take over your PC and holds you ransom until you pay a fee to unlock your files (which of course is utter nonsense, since all you have to do is use the Task Manager to end the browser app and the problem is gone). I did some scientific research today, and with the help of the good folks at Avast! (the virus/malware blocking service I use) and determined that a) I have NO viruses, Trojans, adware, malware, or any other nastyware, and that b) these browser redirects are ONLY happening when I click on links on the Elecraft website. I can browse other websites with impunity and not see any redirects - it's just links on the Elecraft website that do it. This leads me to believe that, somehow, the Elecraft website has been hacked or otherwise loaded with an adware virus. Please can someone at Elecraft have a look at the problem and clean up the web code ASAP?
