A few minutes ago I discovered you would be redirected from my blog to a URL that looked like this:
http://x.vindicosuite.com/imp/?l=169943&t=h&u=&r=&rnd=75008735
Where the query string item ‘rnd’ had a different value each time you tried to visit my page. It appears to have been some sort of malware associated with Sitemeter. I remove Sitemeter and the problem went away.
Sorry about that.
But this may explain the complaints I have occasionally received from readers about popup ads here. There should not be any here. But if someone was able to infect Sitemeter’s scripts then such a thing is possible.
The domain registration info is as follows:
Registrant Name: Lee Sautia

Registrant Street: 245 5th Ave., 21st Floor
Registrant City: New York
Registrant State/Province: New York

Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.6468332940
Registrant Phone Ext:

Registrant Email: domains@vindicogroup.com
Using vindicogroup.com as an URL redirects to http://vindico.com/. This website claims they do behavior based video advertising. I would like to inform them that it is not surprising to me that such slimy behavior as theirs originated from someone in New York City and my behavior is to have nothing to do with them.
