MSN skimming traffic! - GoFuckYourself.com

chodadog · 05-13-2002, 07:57 AM

Today has been a weird day for me while browsing various sites..
No matter where i go, at least 1 out of 3 times, i get this URL instead of the page i'm actually going to:

http://auto.search.msn.com/response....h=5&prov=&utf8

obviously, the yahoo.com replaced with whatever site i've been trying to go to. I swear, Microsoft are skimming the entire internet's traffic and feeding it into the microsoft network.

Note: Above may be entirely speculation, and what happened may be a result of my shitty internet connection.

I would agree.

TOO many times have I got that page when typing in a URL which i know to be right (eg MY URL!!!!!) and then checked it and YES its right.

fucked up.

Turn off autosearch in your IE options.

Even if it's an option, that still smells a little bit like a conspiracy from the Redmond Mob. Those bastards are pretty sneaky.

They try to skim a little from everybody & everything. I guess you gotta appreciate their Capitalist nature.

As I type this, the damn MSN Messenger keeps popping up even after I've tried to close it 500 times. Hmm...
