"WATCH VIDEOS" VIRUS..MALWARE?

  When I click on "watch videos", as soon as the page loads, it is automatically redirecting me to "Health Guru's" website. Not loading another page, but leaving WGT altogether and opening in the same window. Has anyone experienced this today (7-20-14)? I ran Malwarebytes, then Spybot S&D, completely cleaned everything, and ran AVG quick scan, and it all came back clean. Even after restarting computer, it still does it. I am thinking the little Supersonic video that is at the top (1 credit) is doing it. I am kicked to the Health Guru page before the video even loads.

  WOW!!! How was that poor PC even running? You might get a free lifetime paid version of Malwarebytes if you sent them the report from that scan.

  I don't have Chrome. I did try Opera, and it still did it. Here's a clip of what it's doing.

  Barely was, took a minute to load a page with my high speed connection LOL

  Never thought about that malwarebytes thing, might make a commercial out of it and submit it to them...LOL

  I was shocked the time it found 122...almost 5k is ridiculous...she has one of my laptops with a system maintenance folder on the desktop and programs she has been taught to run, I told her if I EVER seen that again I was taking the laptop back LOL

  I've been getting that as well.

  I also get a little box with adobe flash player settings.

  It says Local Storage How much information can media5wgt.com sore on your computer?

  I was playing 18 holes and was at -6 after 9. Once the back 9 was ready to start, I got kicked out and could not get back In time. WGT cost me a very nice game.

  All this is going to make me stop playing this game. I really don't want any malware on my computer.

  Where do we report this to WGT? Thanks.
