Sometimes digitalpoint redirects to forumlegal.net

    Not sure why my thread at feedback section was deleted.

    I have seen couple of posts in this site and others having the same problem, sometimes digitalpoint redirects to forumlegal.net.

    Is anyone else having the same problem? How do I fix it?

    I'm using Vista / Norton / AdAware / SuperAntiSpyware all updated.

    You can also contact me via email: arareviolet AT yahoo DOT com

    I've never had this problem, I bet you have some form of virus. I would try reformatting.

    I had that once. It happens when you mistype.

    Is this some new kind of spam?

    No its not. Someone registered a typo version of forums.digitalpoint.com and that is what is redirected.

    A site as popular as digitalpoint will attract some spammers to try to scam a few bucks out of it's popularity and typing mistakes.
    here are just some you can find:
    digitapoint.com
    digtalpoint.com
    digitalpoin.com
    digialpoint.com

    I am sure Shawn has got better things to do that going after every other spammer.

    It happens even after I'm on digitalpoint forums. Clicking on thread title etc...
