Still redirecting.

You said this started to happen on 9th july. Do you remember did you install some program that day?

 

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

That's date is a guess-tamate. I haven't installed anything new recently.

I had a similar problem ages ago, I don't think that was spigot though, it was something else. I sorted that myself reasonably easily.

It's all very strange.

Actually, I just checked my other browsers. Firefox and Explorer are both working normally now. It's just Chrome doing it.

Try this

Yes! I did try that before, but this time it seems to have worked. No more redirect.

TwinHeadedEagle you have been a fantastic. Thank you for your tenacity and your patience. Total respect.
