Belkin Highjacks Browser, Delivers Ad
Wow, and I was just starting to think of Belkin as a semi-respectable peripheral vendor. Apple should rethink its affiliation with them after this. Not cool.
[marketingwonk] The innocuous box on your network known as the router may not be so innocuous after all. A Belkin wireless router has been found to highjack your browser and redirect you to a page that promotes Belkin's parental control service. Every eight hours an offer for a free six-month trial is delivered to your browser. This is no technical glitch. Belkin openly admits the offer was programmed into the box. Steve Hall comments.
The question is - did they openly advertise this behavior on the box?!? I would want my money back.
