Clicking twice

Post by woodchip »

I'm a bit puzzled. Seems lately when I click on a link I don't get the right page (if it is a news link) or I just get a blank page. As a example I was looking for watches and ebay sent me some links for different manufacturers. I chose the Breitling one and first time I clicked on the link I got:
http://s.ads1337.com/sefep3vwssvsw884kk4w08cc48
which is a blank page (I run no scripts so don't know if that is why it is blank)

I go back to the link, click on it and correct page comes up:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=bre ... =127%2C750

So what is going on? I just ran Malwarebytes and cleared out 2 things it found. Something I should be concerned about?

Yeah, I would be a little concerned, sounds like you might have some browser hijacking going on. The domain "ads1337.com" definitely sets off some alarms.

I'd do a full offline scan of the PC using something like the Kaspersky rescue cd or the Avira Antivir rescue cd. Also hitting your system with an online scan like the ESET couldn't hurt. You might also be able to track it down with HijackThis. Or if you drop by bleepingcomputer.com you could have someone guide you through a run of combofix.
