For the past several hours I've been sporadically re-directed to what looks to be a phony Google start page when I click on an increasing number of links on TalkBass.

In the most recent occurrence I was redirected to a site which the Firefox Add-on WOT (Web Of Trust) identified as being dangerous and thus blocked. In the ULR box of the intercepted redirect was 'http://results.google-analytics.com/', so I Googled 'http://results.google-analytics.com/, malware' and found that quite a few Windows and Mac users (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04) have been experiencing the same problem in Firefox and in Safari.

CAUTION. WOT tagged these links from the first page of the above Google search as being dangerous and there's likely more on other pages of the said search results:

Remove Results.google-analytics.com With Simple Remover Software ...

Results.google-analytics.com Removal Guide, Remove Search Hijacker ...

Results.google-analytics.com Removal Guide

EDIT: There is a another thread on this subject over in Off Topic [BG].

Said thread has grown to include more info and links of interest to those who are experiencing browser hijacking problems.

Thank you.
