When I am on or connecting to techwatch.My browser 'firefox' keeps trying to connect to paypal.Is this normal, if so why.

No it's not normal and sounds like you've got problems.
Is this re-direction only happening when you visit Techwatch, or are you being re-directed quite often?

No its not normal I don't get that on mine

but i have had a virus that redirected my to other pages

pontiend · 29-09-09, 01:36 AM

I am not getting redirected. I just notice that when techwatch is loading.That on the bottom task bar it says that it is waiting for www.paypal.com.Which I stop.
If I am not buying anything I do not see why I should be connecting to paypal.
I have no viruses. In fact I have never had one.I am constantly formatting my drives.

I thought that maybe I was cracking up.I am on my eeepc 1000he at the moment.But on reloading techwatch the waiting for info,on the bottom task bar go'es by very fast.But I am sure that I see waiting for paypal flash past.
NOW I maybe cracking up, but I use an old packard bell 900mhz athlon pc in the shed.It's that slow that you have time to see what It s waiting for on the bottom task bar.I will take note tomorrow.

Dos'nt it make you glad that we do not still have the si fi buffs logging on correcting our spelling

I think that I have got correcting spelt wrong but for the life of me I cannot get it right.

There is a paypal link on one of the skins, for fourum donations. It briefly makes a connection to paypal to download the logo (I think)

edit:

yes it is the Donate button, which is hosted on the Paypal site.

martin-f · 29-09-09, 02:11 AM

i would try a different browser and see if you still get the same also look in add/remove programs for anything that should not be there
