It's the first time I've noticed this, but I searched for a website, and got a hit on google. Then I clicked on it in google search, and it forwarded to a typical pharmacy site. I thought, oh crap, have I got a virus on my linux box?

I went back to google search and clicked the link again, this time I was put on the right site.

Curious, I searched for the exact same term on anopther browser, and the same thing happened.

Clearly some spammer has infected the website, and is forwarding all first time requests from that site to his site.

Anyone noticed that before ? Was new for me.

Do you have a Belkin router?

No

You never know, maybe your computer (not the site) is infected.
