[QUOTE="louishen, post: 620551, member: 40142"] The pages are using javascript both to redirect you to another page and to hold the address in the menu bar to make it look like the site you visited. The address bar hack is a common feature of bank phishing sites as well [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing#Website_forgery[/url] Whatever site you visited may be just one of a number of linked false sites that could direct your browser to phishing sites, or worse - sites that show illegal content. Best stay away, you don't want your ISP alerted to any sites you have unintentionally been directed to, you could find that you can get in to legal trouble and it will be up to you to explain how it happened. Just never visit those sites again, or - if they lead to anything illegal, tell the Internet Watch Foundation [/QUOTE]
