I've also seen it in places other than the forum. Saw it on Amazon over the weekend. I don't know when it started, but it is irritating!

I use Mozilla.

Try a google search, for just anything. When you click on a link make sure it takes you to where it is supposed to go. If it doesn't, you have a search engine redirect virus... I caught one called the Happili virus. It was a beotch to get rid of.

It's malware. I had it on my computer and used malwarebytes to get rid of it. Now I'm seeing it on my tablet too.
