weird redirects?

[bas157]

Clicking links to Amazon in the hotdeals forums, today I started getting some wierd redirects. Wondering if anyone else seeing it? No issue yesterday (and computer was off all night/day since yesterday)
I don't have any extensions running I don't recognize, nothing showing in virus scans and sometimes the links work fine if I click them again.
The attempted to access domain does change though, sometimes its https://newupdatesnow. com/redirect? blahblahblah

I don't see that. You may have malware on your device.

Happened a couple times to me today as well. Definitely not malware, I expect it's from the affiliate linking service Ryan uses

scans on my computer aren't showing anything (malware, virus) and since another user reporting it, hoping it's just something with the affiliate linking.

Just did it again. The link in @Ryan 's post pushed me to superoffers.com clicking it again went out to amazon

Years ago, my sister passed away and left me a box of her art supplies. I’m no artist, but as I was packing the stuff away I did note that the haul included some kind of an off-brand X-Acto knife. I grabbed it and threw it in my blade drawer without giving it much thought. A few months back...

I had this same issue.

One went to Amazon on the second try, another went to super offers three times, and I punted.

All virus malware etc scans came up clean both times.

This happened on his Olfa thread both times.

I only had the issue for that day, maybe the next. I'm thinking it was something with the affiliate linking.

I've had some new issues along those lines today also.
