mchale Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Kalamazoo, MI, USA Insane since: Apr 2002	posted 04-01-2002 20:23 I'm looking at www.ozones.com/index.html (the Our Walls v1.0 page) in IE 5.5. It's the first line in the source, even before the <html> tag. I first noticed it a few weeks ago; I also saw it on www.hotwired.com. Actually, I'm going to go try to find a page without it; I'm going to be more than a little concerned if it's something on my machine adding it without my knowing. Thanks.

I've run across a few pages (including, but not limited to ozones.com) with an unusual script tag at the start:

<script src="http://a.a.b/dffs"></script><script src="http://a.a.a/dff"></script>

Does anyone know what this does? a.a.a and a.a.b aren't valid domains, so I know there's something tricky going on here.

I first noticed it a few weeks ago; I also saw it on www.hotwired.com. Actually, I'm going to go try to find a page *without* it; I'm going to be more than a little concerned if it's something on my machine adding it without my knowing. Thanks.
