Redirect to spam site: www.www.flyertalk.com.org?
Pulling up www.flyertalk.com today in Ireland I kept getting redirected to a spam site (www.www.flyertalk.com.org) with a couple of additional pop-ups
to other spam sites.
It happened three times in a row and unless I'm developing dyslexia I'm sure my spelling was right.
I ended up having to use one of the links in my history to get to the real flyertalk.
DNS problems?

I believe the actual address
is www.smarterliving.com/ff/FlyerTalk. Hope that works for you.
That's what I have bookmarked.

Clear out your browser's cache and cookies. I'd also check any proxy or gateway server settings you may be behind. http://www.flyertalk.com seems to be performing correctly.

Everything seems to be working again. I've sent a query to my ISP asking if they can figure it out. I have also scanned my PC for spyware / viruses etc. but didn't turn up anything. Very weird.
