mod.gov.al is the Albanian Ministry of Defense. No idea why it would be blocked.

Case of “bad bytes”!

Where did you get your malware software?

You may want to check the add-ons and extensions in your browser.

If you are using IE, then click the little gear and click on “Manage Add-Ons” then click through each to see what is there. Maybe one of them is attempting to take you to that site.

Check/edit your FR bookmark, should be just something like “http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/index"; or just “www.freerepublic.com”. .AL is “Albania” and that particular URL is the Albanian Defense Ministry...looks alright in the english version (my AV didn’t alert & no popups, etc.): http://www.mod.gov.al/eng/index.php (Is is a very slow server tho...Albanian govt. not spending too much on bandwidth apparently).

You may be the only FReeper to visit a .gov website......

Also, you might want to do a full scan on your local PC...some malware that your AV didn’t detect might be trying to do “redirects”, then your AV IS detecting on the redirects.

In addition, AV “second opinions” are good:

It might not be a virus or bad add-on. Your router could be causing the redirects.
