I seem to be having a problem with my browser (chrome) re-directing me back to MSE when clicking on various products on an independent website, as I discovered in this thread...
I ran a malware scan and removed the following...
However, this hasn't solved the problem. I can load the website from google (petfleas.co.uk) but whenever I try to click on any product I get the following url...

Any ideas please?
PS I'm using a Windows 7 laptop. Have tested the website on a Mac and it loads just fine so appears to be a problem isolated to this laptop.

I've just tried using Firefox to view the website and it's all working absolutely fine so the problem appears to be with Chrome and/or MSE. Strange :huh:“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0

Done that but the problem still persists. It seems specific to that particular website and the first time I ever visited it was this morning via a link on MSE in the thread I mentioned above.“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -
Try clearing Chrome browser cache either in Chrome or alternatively run CCleaner.0
