Is there a way to turn this InternetAutoguide.com off?

I should take #2’s advice to cross post this in China
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=2334464
and Travel-Tech as well.

Just for the last few days, whenever I clicked on reading a topic in the forum, a popup would show “internetautoguide.com”. I needed to close this popup to read the topic.

The strange thing is, this hijacking of event just happened on lonelyplanet forum only, absolutely not on other websites (travel, news, Chinese, etc) I visited.

After reading #1’s advice about the potential of widget, I did a browsing history deletion (cookies, temporary files, etc). I would be very surprised to believe that the deletion could remove the widget (if it was) from my system. Anyway, the “hijacking” (as I call it) does not happen anymore as of today. Again, strange?

I run Windows Vista (one of the many mistakes I regret making) and IE8.

2 weeks ago I was on the phone with Delta Airlines for more than an hour because I could not login skymiles. By some dumb chance I switched to using Chrome and it worked, but that’s another story. Wouldn’t life be simpler if we go back to “atdt …”? Just kidding.

Thanks for the Alexa's net info.

By the way,
… your post is Nr 5 hit on Google's list.
So is it good, bad or ugly?
