- Short Description: Redirected to some scam-page talking about viruses
- Browser: Internet Explorer, assumedly the most recent one -- I'm on a school computer
- Severity: N/A
- Description: I was writing out the bio for one of my characters, Yawei Ike, and, being lazy, I decided to just use Bing in order to find the planet Crina (which would be her homeworld). However, the moment I click on the link for the planet submission, it redirects me to this page whose webpage said "URL4SHORT". I didn't read the rest of it, but I knew there were many people on this site who had problems with a URL4SHORT thing. Thing is, I wasn't able to exit out because of this pop-up that said something about "harmfull viruses" (if I wasn't tipped off by the URL4SHORT that this was a scam, then it most certainly would have been the typos of the popup -- it's spelled "harmful"). This happened before, but I simply assumed it was a one-time thing. Not so, apparently.
- Screenshots: N/A - I have no idea how to take one
