What is gadgetstacks.com/C8prha.ph

[JAS]

My back arrow no longer works because gadgetstacks.com/C8prha.ph keeps inserting itself into the list. It's related to this site only so I don't think it's a virus.

Adding it to the blocked sites list does not work.

Thanks

A few other people have asked about that over the past 24 hours. And the honest answer is, I don't know.

I have made no changes to the system, and do not find anything when looking for it.

I am looking into it.

Discussed, answered, and apparently solved by Scott.

It was discussed in the thread mentioned above. Essentially it was code put in to satelliteguys.us by hackers using a hole now closed. The code would cause your browser to click ads you could not see under fake pages. It essentially was a way to turn all the readers of this forum into bots clicking on ads to generate revenue for the hackers.

Scott closed the hole and it should be gone now.
