Seems a lot of people are having problems with this redirect.

I'm using Win 7 with the latest Firefox and a number of security and privacy ad ons.
Also Zone Alarm free firewall, AdAware free anti virus, CCleaner, MalwareBytes paid,
Spybot S&D. Have repeatedly scanned using all of these and nothing found.

I've read that it's some kind of malware.

Anybody know how to stop it?

What happens is that when I try to do the "Read More" on a Yahoo news article,
it won't connect to the rest of the article. Have temporary "allowed" all the things
on the NoScript drop down and tried opening in a new tab. No luck.

Very frustrating. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to stop or get rid of it?

Thanks!
