Right, so I was on wowhead forums doing my thing. I went afk for a while to "Powder my nose" and when I get back, there's some random website about bird control products.
The only ones at home are me and my budgie named Harpo.
There were no other websites in history
Nothing on Ctrl+Shift+T (Previously shut down tabs)
No one else but me and Harpo at home (I seriously checked under bed etc)
I figured that mayhaps I accidently hit some ad on wowhead without noticing it before I left, but the ads on wowhead were about something else (Something about fitness + magazines, can't remember)
Nothing on Ctrl+V
http://www.nixalite.com/birdcontrolproducts.aspx?OVRAW=NULL&OVKEY=NULL&OVMTC=content&OVADID=1866474022&OVKWID=0
This is the URL of the website that was up when I got back. No idea what's going on really. Since when did ghosts/budgies surf the web for bird control products?
Please, help me solve this mystery as it's driving me nuts at the moment.

In the midst of snorting a line of cocaine, you forgot that you had opened up the bird control page.
Did I get it? I got it, didn't I?
+ 1 internet
edit: but yeah, what vegito said

So I have a bored hacker on my 1month old computer?
Great, I just got more paranoid than I previously was. I would've actually prefered it if the ghosts were trying to tell me to get rid of the budgie or something.

Your computer is infected with a backdoor virus and the hacker opened up that website when he realized there were no activities going on. (you were AFK)
Do I win?
You honestly believe that a person with a backdoor on a computer just sits at their own computer 24/7 monitering a single infected computer while waiting for a period of no activity, just to open a single web page and do nothing else?
OP, what browser do you use?

It's like reality TV, but more personal and realitier(?)
Also, I'm using Mozilla Firefox.

Probably adware. 90% of all computers are infected with it, some just work differently than others. Recently I've had two Sherlock Holmes adverts just load up on my computer for no reason at all.

This is probably it. Do you use any anti-virus/adware software, OP?

Norton, Comodo and Windows default thingy. (Do any of these interfere with eachother?)
I just had a complete scan through the entire computer by using Norton and I didn't find anything suspicious at all.

Your budgie has powers..
Otherwise, you might have a virus.

Let's assume I do have a virus.
What kind of virus would direct me to a website about bird control products?
Are we looking at the next generation of advertising here?

I once had a virus that lead me to a breast surgery website.

Sounds like we're dealing with breast-loving bird-hating ghosts. >_>

Adware leads you to anything. You having a budgie and the site being about bird control was a coincidence.
