Forum redirect

[metalcrusher 514]

Hello, I am here to report a bug maybe or something.

But many times when I go to a topic and there is a youtube video, I get redirected to youtube and its annoying. It happens on my laptop and my desktop.

Don't give all the things that everybody always says, to clean cache and blah blah blah, I know how to do all that.

Who else is experiencing this?

you mean to say when ever you click on a video, which is posted somewhere on forum, you get redirected to YT ?

No I mean if I go a topic and there is a youtube video on that page, I just get redirected without clicking on it.

And I don't even get redirected to the video, just the home

you tried some other browser, like IE ?

[metalcrusher 514]

IE is horrible.

If you knew about computers then you wouldn't be asking me that which I know this isn't going anywhere.

Skip all the noobie things everyone always says, different browser, cleaning cache and history, cleaning up computer because I know how to do this.

Then this is something really weird, i dont think anyone has same problem.

Try looking through your plugins.

There are several reasons why you may experience a browser redirect,however the most likely cause it’s a computer virus.

Well, you've a browser hijacker virus. There're two ways to remove it. The first one is, by removing it manually, which is PRETTY hard for the novice computer users, and I don't really recommend doing it. The other way, is by employing a spyware, which removes and prevents the browser hijacker virus from coming back. (you usually get this from downloading stuff from unknown sources)
