Link redirection

[Oggy]

Anytime I click on a link either here or on Vaper Joes I get a redirection link.

Not sure why this is happening, can anyone help please?

First time I've seen that. Other than affiliate links, I have no idea.

I'll ask around...

Thanks @Huckleberried your the best

@Oggy, I've dropped a bug in everyone's ear, so it might be a bit, but hopefully someone can give you a clearer explanation. Oh! I'll tag @Countrypami

Thank you for the help. This was been happening for a couple of weeks. I have heard a couple of other people say it is happening also.

Can you give us some examples of links that have done this for you? We can't replicate the problem here (everything seems fine from our end)

Sounds like Malware to me... might wanna install Malwarebytes and run it on your system.

I get it from all of the links that lead out of VaperJoes and about 90% of the links on VU. Links that stay on VU work fine, I was also able to follow Pami's link to here blog without a problem. But links to sites for vendors, ebay, or links to sites like vape 101 all get the redirect page. I use Kyspersky on my computer so I will try running a full scan and see if it finds anything.

This is the page I end up on http://go.redirectingat.com/?rdrflb=1

Here is a direct copy of what the page states.

I went through Joe's deals here and never ran across this at all. I know Tyger and Joe also went through and landed where they were supposed to. Curious what you find after a scan. Good luck!
