Went to youtube, hit shift+enter and firefox, being the weird browser that it is, added a .net to the .com address (because of the shift+enter)
The end result was a redirect to iwsearch.net (particularly -http://www.iwsearch.net/find.html-). Wondering if there is anything malicious here? Firefox is running adblock plus + noscript, and my browser is sandboxed (running win7 64bit)
I've got no idea where to ask this, since wilders doesn't seem to have a "general security discussion" forum. Since it seems to be malware related, I just decided I'd post here where the malware experts are.
Suffer from paxil-enhanced OCD, so bear with me!
I'd appreciate tips on where to post this, if this is an incorrect section, and I'd appreciate it even more if a mod would move it (again, providing this is an incorrect section)
