    This happened to you?

    Sometimes when I click on Final Fantasy XIV Forums from the Lodestone, I go to a completely different website. Never happened before, is it a virus @_@?

    I run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and Norton Internet Security and couldn't find anything.

    I was about to mention Malwarebytes but I see you edited that you did already.

    Clear you cache and history? Other than that you could try uninstalling and reinstalling your browser. If Malwarebytes and your antivirus aren't picking anything up, I don't know what else to tell you.

    If it is a redirect from a broken link you could report it on the respective feedback thread. What site does it take you to?

    Virus? Those still exist? Windows Security Essentials foo! Free, and yet it works so ambitiously that it pretty much breaks the neck of and brings me for interrogation anything that might even remotely be f***ing around. I almost forgot viruses existed...

    Your sig OP made me giggle dangerously at the front desk today (though it wa another thread I think).

    If you could try clicking that link again from the front page and while I can't suggest you post the URL here if it is a malicious site, if you could indicate the subject and or ws screen without the url (snipping tool)?

    Little utility called Hijack This is available for free if you search it, it's designed specifically for the issue you're having.
