Not covid but there'* a tracking code that gets tagged to links. I inserted a link in a post and checked the link and it'* been hacked.
Need to run a scan of the system.

The thing is Alldata is not the problem. Look at the address bar these are tracking sites.

Yeah, this is Viglink/Sovrn at work. Here'* the links I found behind your Alldata link:
The top one is the original destination behind your link. Then it hands off to the other three in order. This probably changes over time, but this is what it did to me today.
After like ten attempts I got through to the exact path that you originally attempted, including the diy-us/en .
This does not appear to be a virus. This is just Internet Brands doing their thing, just doing it poorly right now. I'm not saying that I like it etc., just saying what it is. This is part of the cost of a free forum.
Choose the [Disable Tracking] option at the bottom. It will place a cookie on your machine that tells sovrn/viglink to not do what it is doing whenever a sovrn/viglink-enabled site is accessed from that browser. Let us know if that fixes it.
In the meantime, I'll talk to IB and see if they can do anything about it.
