Is it Amazon or is it me?

[heidi]

I'm trying to get to http://www.amazon.co.uk/default.asp and for some reason, my mac keeps loading something called Vertex Internet. Was Amazon hacked or might I have some evil redirector on here? Does anyone have a rec for an adaware-like program for a mac?

Updated: This might be related to their downtime a week ago, perhaps?

try this instead: http://www.amazon.co.uk

It doesn't recognize that page, I get diverted too.

I'm on a PC running Firefox and that URL works just fine for me. I'm logged in and ready to shop.

That's what I get; I'm also on a mac. AFAIK there isn't any ad/malware that affects macs.

LAME. That's an... unbias towards Mac users is what that is...

Stupid frickin' adware...

Well I'm on a PC and get that page. But it gives a link to www.amazon.co.uk

Works fine for me, the /default.asp might be what's confusing it. As ivyblossom says, try just http://www.amazon.co.uk
