just noticed that at the bottom left of my browser that there is some address with the words google (cant read it all in time) everytime I navigate around the website.

anyone know why?

just checked if i get the same on other sites and found it says google-redirect on most but i'm sure with DW it also said something like google analytics?
 
Yh m8 I have just noticed this aswell, and yh it says google analytics, haven't got a clue why but think it may have something to do with the people viewing the thread or something so it counts each visitor to that page or something similar
 
google analyitics is a bit of code that is placed on web pages which allows the sites owners to see detailed visitor stats
 
argh my pc has been infected... got something installing itself at reboot and when I do a web search it re-directs me to a download site with the words I searched for... needless to say I didnt download.

Also something keeps trying to connect to the net but pcguard warns me and I block it.

not sure how I've been infected and somehow its a bit disconcerting because I thought i knew enough to keep safe - obviously not!

now have to spend some time cleaning :(
