For what its worth, I've seen that same site insinuated into other links lately.... my money's on DNS poisoning that hasn't been run to ground yet.

This is malware. A google redirect virus. One of many out there. Most of these google redirect virus only function under the standard/basic search method. If you select "advanced search" and try again chances are it will work fine. There are a number of tools out there to try and remove these stubborn redirects. I've found the more popular scanners don't see it though. Are you using IE or Firefox?
Cheers.

I'm a frequent visitor of the clear sky clock and find the information on the site very useful. But on several occasions now, I click the link from Google search and get redirected to some other site that tries to download something called "Bloodhound". Fortunately, my virus protection catches and blocks or deletes the intruder.
Most of the time, this doesn't happen, but it's happened several times on my home and corporate computers in the last two months.
Is anyone else familiar with this problem?
Thanks,
Tim, why would you be doing a Google search for a website you already KNOW? Just type the web address in the browser, not in to a search engine. Then save it as a favorite.

A few days ago, my IE8 browser suddenly started blocking some members' clear sky charts in their signatures. I've changed no settings, and don't plan to do so. I do see the chart gifs. What's happening?
