    Copytechnet forwarding to another website

    Every 10 minutes or so I get forwarded to www. gogardenclub .com
    I've never heard of it, and never knowingly clicked on it.

    Is it possible that they're one of our sponsors, and I'm accidentally clicking a border link? Are we being spammed somehow? I tried purposely entering that website in the address line, and it comes up as "Service Unavailable".

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Not seeing that problem - did you not get your vaccinations?

      Perhaps not. Malwarebytes didn't find anything. I purged the cache and temporary internet files. It only happens when I jump from one open page to another tab. Still hunting ... =^..^=

          Firefox, as usual. I purged the cache again and re-started. It seems to be OK now. =^..^=

            the redirect is legit. just happened twice to me. see you guys in a couple weeks. I don't mess around with this crap. definitely malware looking for a misstep.

              It's not gone, just intermittent. It only seems to be hitting Copytechnet. =^..^=

                You might be infected with some type of adware is not yet aware of. You might want to try adding Adblock Plus.

                  No single malware fighter gets them all. You might try ADWCleaner and Superantispyware. You can find them on www.bleepingcomputer.com which has lots of info on malware, viruses, etc.

                    I'm having the same issue with Firefox that started yesterday May 14, 2015. Redirecting me to the same site but it only happens when I open a website in another tab. Also happens when using IE. I've cleared the cache, restarted etc. In IE when I open another website in a new tab the previous tab gets redirected to this gogardenclub website or I get a 503 error.

                    Thanks for any help!

                      What I'm finding is any website I "open in a new tab" will open but the previous tab will redirect to EducationalGarden (gogardenclub.com). But if I open a new tab and go to the webstie, the previous one stay put with no redirect.

                          My blogger site forwarding to another website

                          Same thing started happening to two of my blogger sites yesterday.

                          66 Square Feet (Plus)
                          66 Square Feet (The Food)

                          A redirect occurred only once I opened a new tab, to this: Service Unavailable

                          Chrome, Firefox do it; but not IE.

                          My webmaster - Ok, so he's my husband, too - thinks he's traced it to Sitemeter and has disabled it on both blogs for now. We have not reproduced the issue after ditching Sitemeter.

                            I first noticed it on a blogger site but have had it happen on this site as well. I do have sitemeter on my blogs but it does it on other sites as well. It's most noticed when I open a bookmark in a new tab. I've run Malware cleaner and CCCleaner and removed FireFox add ons, Cleared cache's and temp internet files and it continues.

                            All started yesterday sometime.

                            Not finding anyone else posting about it yet on any site except this one.

                            Just now tried being on this site, opening a blogger bookmark in a new tab and then this site tab went to EducationGardens. I'm thinking the 503 error is when a lot of others are crashing the site maybe.. If I click back to this site tab and hit the back button to get out of the garden web site, then the tab I had just opened goes to the garden web site. It's maddening!

                              Removed sitemeter on blog. No change. First tab seems to stay put. Second tab seems to stay put, but on opening third and forth tabs when you "open in new tab" number 3 will immediately redirect.

                              I've started a thread at bleepingcomputers.com looking for help if you want to follow it for help:
