why do people do that?? ???

I assume they make money out of it. The link they had implanted was an attempt to fool people into believing they needed to buy an anti-virus program.

The other night every time I tried to use the bookmark or type in the address to the browser I ended up with the spyware page.
I then removed the bookmark and came of the internet.
I then removed all my history, cookers ect and shut down the computer.
On restarting and going on to the internet I typed in the forum address and it worked O.K and then saved it as a new bookmark.
Since then it as been O.K. so far.
