    I was using wp-spam assassin by michael hampton
    and i deactivated it and it now works.

    I must have some spyware on my pc some where ill scan again

    Well, first I got rid of SK. Fixed it immediately. Then later I tried SK’s latest distro, but decided I did NOT need the amount of stuff it wanted me to mess with and took it off too. I’m using Referrer Bouncer, wp-spamassassin, and Bad Behavior, and I have zero spam so I’m not much concerned….

    BTW, I think (I might be wrong of course) that that site is a legit US Federal Trade Commission site with various pages of info on spam etc for the consumer. I too suspected spyware to begin with regardless that I’ve never had any, but an in-depth scan with everything in my arsenal turned up nothing. I eventually decided it must be something hard-coded into SK – and I’m still running wp-spamassassin and haven’t ever had that occur since.

    It must be my pc.
    It sees me as spam and tranfers me to that site.
    When i deactivate it it works. Activate it again and it doesn’t

    I have scanned my pc several times now and i can not find it.

    That is hardcoded in Spam Karma – it’s intended to redirect spammers to the FTC site on spam, I believe.

    Also, please upgrade to WP v1.5.1.3. v1.5.1.3 was released to close a security hole that was found in v1.5.1.2.
