I've tried it on 3 different computers, all the same. My guess is it's advertising by geographical location, I guess most of you that don't have a problem are in the US? i'm in the UK and i'd be interested to know where the original poster is located.

Same for me both from a Spanish internet connection and from a French internet connection (and from different computers, one of them a corporate computer connected to a large network where virus and spyware are very closely monitored!).
Conclusion: it is MLB website which has the problem (maybe the advertising as someone suggested?)
Here in Spain also. I cannot believe MLB.COM has not taken action to fix thsi highjacking. That it happened to them is unbelievable in the first place. No other site I try have this redirection or hijacking. I detected it on the 24th. Has anyone tried to contact MLB in any way to notify them or complain?

It's only a problem for a couple of people. It's NOT the site.

Nope..because it's NOT the site. It's YOU who have the problem.

Look BOZO the clown, I don't remember anyone here nominating you for MLB spokesman. We are just engaging in ideas and are not here to point deragatory fingers. I count at least 5-6 people who have posted saying they have this problem and only with MLB.COM. If you cannot add value I suggest you put a lid on your trap!!!

Also had this proble. Thought it was me but I rebuilt my machine from scratch and still had the same redirect problem. I had a go on 3 different computers and still the same. Must be an issue with MLB.com. Have sent them an email. If anybody else has the same same problem suggest doin the same. hopefully more emails will get there attention.

I have put an email through the contact us page to MLB.com. If it wasnt during the holidays i would have contacted 2 people i know at mlb.com to try and get it resolved quicker but neither is online due to the Christmas holidays.

5 or 6 and how many say it's fine? How many haven't complained at all? Any national reports about it? If only 5 or 6 have a problem with a site as busy as the MLB site is the problem is with the 5 or 6. Bet on it.

That could be. The site itself is fine. We would have seen something about in on ESPN or the national news sites.

Utter nonsense. MLB.com did nothing about the malware ad redirects (documented here: http://www.windowsitpro.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=97582&feed=a... and here: http://www.scmagazineus.com/Major-League-Baseball-National-Hockey-Lea... and, most tellingly, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lBUQqufZWc) related to a well-known and long-persistent malware scam that were being served up by infected flash ads to worldwide viewers of its website for over two months. Simply blaming the '5 or 6' who claim to have witnessed it is pretty lame. For information, I myself have just visited it from the UK and been redirected to exactly the same site. I work in IT Security, and have visited the site since this latest hijack first occured for me three days ago from numerous browsers, on numerous machines, from numerous networks. The redirect has happened for me four times in about fifty visits since then, which is about the same rate that the AdTraff redirects - which stopped for me about a month ago - occurred. I suspect its the same crew responsible. For info, this is not a security problem with the mlb site per se, rather it is the responsibility of those who sell advertising space on the site not doing their checks properly. Personally, I think its a disgrace - but nothing will be done about it, and there will not be any publicity over the problem because numerous people (myslef included) complained about it last time and nothing was done. Of course, if anyone else in the UK gave a damn about baseball - say it was as popular as soccer is here, then there might be an outcry about it. SInce it is such a marginal sport here and no-one in any position of authority is either likely to view the site, or care when someone complains, nothing will happen. Ho hum.

I am in Italy and I have the problem, and so all the members of the biggest forum about baseball in italian language (http:// forum.playitusa.com/index.php?topic=10648.0). I wonder what are they waiting for fixing it.
Same problem also here in the UK. Thought it was me at first but after scrubbing my PC still get the same re-direct. Got the front page OK but as soon as I clicked on a link I got the streaming porn. I am so pleased that other people have the same problem! I would have problems explaining this to my wife!
