Default This redirectingat.com thing is driving me mad!

EVERY TIME i click on a link on here it is shutting my IE down, and saying it has performed an error etc. It is definately something to do with the redirectingat.com thing, as it never used to do it before, and if i manually copy and paste the link it does not do it.

Anyone got any ways round it?

Rich

Yeah i'm not suggesting its pf causing the problem, I just don't understand why it is here. It is doing it on my laptop, my pc and the computer at work... Its not every time as I said, just most!!

Have you tried a different web browser to see if the same thing happens? If not, download and install Safari for Windows (get it from Apple's site for free) and see if it does the same thing. If not then it's a problem with IE and maybe not affecting the full Windows OS....

I've not heard of it, so can't be anymore help, sorry.....

Nah its something that has been added to this site, the jist of it is that if i click on a link on here, I buy something from what i have just seen, then the PF's owner makes some money.

And why should I download another browser just to get round this?

No one said you SHOULD download a new browser, I SUGGESTED you download one to TRY it - nothing set in stone that dictates you have to use it for ever and ever and ever. It's just a trial!

A bit sneaky of PF adding something like that to the site redirectingat.com directs you to this site http://skimlinks.com/
