go to www/weatherunderground.com, a popular site I visit fairly
regularly. The weatherunderground page loaded momentarily, then I was
redirected to
http://images.specificclick.net/contents/546/layout6_720x300.html, which
in FF appeared as a blank page. I attempted to load weatherunderground
in IE, where it loads as usual. Out of curiosity, I went to the URL of
the hijack page in IE, where it does indeed load & plays an anti-John
Edwards propaganda video. No other pages have so far been redirected in
this way & my homepage remains Google. Regardless of one's political
leanings, rather than being swayed I can't imagine anyone being anything
but disgusted by such a sleazy tactic. Anyway, regarding the security
aspects of this, I have run up to date Spysweeper (which runs all the
time, as does Ad-Watch) and it has found nothing. Neither have
CWShredder, AdAware or Spybot SD. Startup & running processes look
normal. A text search of both the registery & the HDD for a portion of
the hijack URL "specificclick" also yielded no result. Where/how is this
hijacking likely to be taking place on my machine how can it be removed?
TIA
