    Default Weird Computer Question

    i asked this question about 3-4 weeks ago, but i cant find the thread. And i have some new info.

    If I use google and just type "Laser light show components" or any search queries that make CT. Lasers come up as a search result, When i click the link (the first time only) it redirects me to some other weird ass site.

    Anyone interested, try it out. Do a search for laser light show components or equipment or whatebver. I have no idea where i come up in searches. But when you get a result for CT. Lasers, click it. It will redirect to what looks like "seahheaven" first, and then i end up somewhere weird after. Its never to a bad (porno or something similar) site, but its redirecting. The search result clearly shows CT. Lasers, but youll end up somewhere else.

    It isnt my computer, as i tried this on a brand new fresh install of windows. and i tried it on a MAC. Same thing. I think this only happens on Google search engine. I havent tried bing or anything yet.

    When this happens, if i click the bak button to get me back to the search results, and click the same link again, i now will end up at my correct Ct Lasers website.

    i did plenty of research on this and all explnations seem to be known as a "google virus" but always explains it to be something associated with ones computer. i am getting these results which are unrelated to some sort of an infected computer.

    Any ideas??

    My firewall basically tells me to stuff it as soon as I click that link (because of the redirect and that the random linked sites are reported as "hazardous")

    they seem to somehow be exploiting google analytics... this is really neat (although evil)... I am going to look into this more

    interesting thing is you dont see it again per machine, dosent matter what browser... seems to be IP based or something, deleteing the cookies that searcheaven writes dosent do anything

    I am wondering if these guys hacked the server your site is on... I am trying to find other sites hosted on that particular box...

    the searcheaven people seem to be associated with "internetserviceteam" a rather nasty bunch I have dealt with before reference spamming and crawling... pain in the arse

    "toads place ct lasers"

    see if that also does the funky redirect, I am out of WAN ip's available to me at 2 AM that I am willing to risk lol

    I got redirected, but before clicking the link, the status bar clearly showed the ct lasers address. You should call your hosting company and let them know what's going on.
