    Jarid, I think your site may have some malware on it redirecting people to pornographic sites, much to my near embarrassment.

    I was at a remote location, I jumped onto a public computer within an office, thought I'd check out UB5, simply typed 'utahby5' into the address bar (which on my own computer typically gets autofilled to the correct address) and then hit return. It took me to a google search for 'utahby5' so I clicked on the top link which took me to a pornographic site. I shut it down immediately, and thought maybe that public computer had some malware on it.

    Later I did the same thing on my personal computer (typed 'utahby5' in the URL with no '.com') on a different browser that I typically use, did the same thing with the same result, this time directing me to a malware site. You can do private browsing and duplicate it if you'd like, but I've tried now on three different computers with the same result (save your pervert jokes please).

    It appears the link to utahby5.com redirects to utahby5.com/activity.php which is including a strange url parameters after it (I caught one quick - don't click on this link btw http://www.utahby5.com/activity.php?), which I would guess is causing the redirect. You may want to have your host check out your site to make sure it is all clean.



    Anyway, thought you should know.

    I've had the same thing happen.

    Of course your brother isn't going to join us now - he's too busy checking out that other site.
    I've had this happen too but, like Rocker, I wasn't on my home computer and figured it was junk on the public one.
    I just tried it on my home computer and my anti-virus blocked something.

    I got it once while having my wife look for some info on my phone while driving to a basketball game. She was less than enthused when she thought I was telling her to go to a porn site for me.

    It's hilarious that LA Ute wants it crystal clear he has never visited a porn site, even involuntarily because of a moose bug.

    This is like a sitcom episode. I can almost hear you explaining, "it's not usually a porn site! I go there for the articles!"

    About 7-8 months ago this site set off all kinds of alarms with my anti-virus. It got so bad it wouldn't even bring the site up. Thought the site had been hijacked so quit even trying until it came up today on Utefans about trying another browser. I normally use Firefox but tried Chrome today and much to my surprise no alarms. More surprising is that I'm using Firefox now and no alarms/warnings...Or porn.

    Is there a good reason that the High End TV Shows thread is closed? Considering LA posted in it last night, I'm guessing it's his fault.

    I was just trying to create demand. Looks like I succeeded.
