Well this is really fucked up.

Turns out all of the SexTracker domains were being redirected in my HOSTS file under windows\system32\drivers\etc\ to my localhost (127.0.0.1).

Very bizarre.

The crazy thing is BOTH my laptop and desktop had the same problem.

I'm looking through trying to figure out if I installed something that would add entries to my HOSTS file on both machines.

The only thing I can think of is an email I received in Outlook could have possibly been a worm or trojan of some type that altered my HOSTS file on both machines. Virus scanners on both machines though so far are turning up nothing.

Is there someone out there sending out anti Sextracker worms?

Very very strange.
