Default Viglink.com

Why is it that now every time I click a link within a thread, it goes to viglink.com and sits there? I get tired of waiting and just exit out. Just started yesterday. Anyolne else getting that? I did a little research and it says its not my PC. It does it outside of the forum too, so maybe its an internet explorer or Yahoo thing. Guess I will go back to google Chrome. Just didn't quite have google figured out yet.

That seems like a tracker site that redirects your links. Meaning every link will go through that first, then to the site. That allows the viglink to track what is being seen. Most likely that is getting hung up/built in. Other good browsers probably prevent that kind of redirect. I don't think it's a virus on your end. But probably something that forums are using to make money.

I've noticed that ever since I "upgraded" (that's what microsoft calls it) to Internet Explorer 9. Worst version of IE yet.

I don't get hung up on viglink though. Not yet anyway.

Google Chrome is so much better Jerry do yourself a favor and learn to use it.

I somehow was using yahoo.com and I think it was coming from that. Now using Google chrome. Getting used to it. Just cant figure out how to save something to favs. It ends up at top of page in toolbar.

Im still shocked when I hear someone still uses IE. Chrome or Firefox will change your life for the better.
