Mart,

If Java Script is being allowed to run on the machine this could be done
very easily.  You can easily re-write the IE navigation bar in java
script allowing the server you are currently hitting to proxy every new
request you would make.  I did some work with a company that did this
exact thing for a universal shopping cart setup.  They did this so they
could proxy you through their system and track your shopping habits and
allow you to checkout without ever leaving the site.  
Or they could just be re-directing you to porn sites... If that's the
case tell your clients to block XXX sites at the firewall.

Subject: Browser vs forms re-direction

One of my clients informed me that he had a problem with his browser
(I.E. 6) re-directing him to 3X sites when he completed a form for
information purpose on a <normal> site. Could some kind of script affect
the re-direction within his browser? Is it linked to the ISP? The form
was a normal information/question form, probably using formmail. Maybe
somebody browsed on his PC (not HIM of course) to a triple X site and
something was <installed> without his knowledge. Unfortunatly I don't
have a way of duplicating the problem. 

Has anybody seen this before?

What is the cure?

Thanks!

Mart!
