Just tried to go to one of their products on the website and got redirected to a another website named trioffer.

Is it just me?

Yes, I think they have a (big) problem with the website. :can:

I got redirected to something completely else. Took a moment of looking at the product.

I'll ask Susie over MSN when she comes online.

That's really odd. What does it redirect you to?

EDIT: Never-mind! it's dead for me too now :(...

Yeah, it didn't at first, but after 5 minutes or so, it went to trioffer.

It did the same thing to me. I had a small number of minutes on the o-like site, and then suddenly I was taken to Buy Cheap China Electronics - Dropship Electronics - Wholesale Electronics, "Buy Cheap Chinese Electronics".

Folks, please, please, PLEASE, do not poke at this o-like site without protection. This has the look of active hacker code at work, and such an active script could install really bad things on your computer and make your computer do things that you will not like.

When I checked out this o-like site situation myself, I ran a sandboxed browser to protect myself from the hacker code that could be (and looks like it is) running on the o-like site, so that I know that my computer is not compromised by the takeover of the o-like site by unknown code. If you want to investigate this situation yourself, you should sandbox your browser.

Here is how to sandbox your browser when you go to places that might not be safe:

Sandboxie - Sandbox software for application isolation and secure Web browsing

O No!
I have been busy lately, and not keeping up with my usual laser activities. When I went to see what was new at o-like, I was shocked to be redirected.
I'm glade it's something that just happened to her website recently and not a longstanding issue. Hopefully she can get it taken care of ASAP

All you need to do is turn off scripts, cookies, and applets.
