URL redirection problem?

[Forum Troll]

I have DVDTalk bookmarked. When I open it from the bookmark, this happens:

http://www.ninjabynight.com/screen.gif

Note the funky URL in the status bar.
If I click 'yes', I get taken to this URL:

https://www.talk.com/epos/home.do?agentId=10422&partnerCd=COMMJCN&AID=6674799&PID=1562069&displayLine=res

Is this a problem on my machine (adware or malware) or a mistake on the DVDtalk servers?

Try this:

First, verify that the URL you're bookmarking is http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/

Second, check your HOSTS file (http://www.jhsoft.com/help/index.html?df_hostsfile.htm) to make sure no programs have 'false' entries for DVDTalk.com.

Third, use programs like Ad Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) to clear out any spyware lingering on your machine.

Since it looks like it's loading kqzyfj.com, which is spyware related (the hostname takes you to a page where Commission Junction/qksrv.net insists that they're legit, which we all know is bullshit), so that would be my guess.
