Something wrong with Woot?

Just went on Woot.com and the page that comes on is a NSFW Spanish language social media type.

Home.woot.com and other similar categories seem to work fine though.

The problem with woot.com is that the deals suck. Otherwise the URL works fine.

Yeah, since Amazon bought them, they lost their edge. It's just another "peddle off pallets of crap" site now.

OP- Check your HOSTS file for goofy entries.

I'm doing a virus scan right now. It's weird. The main Woot.com page shows a completely different website.

What's interesting is that this only happens when I use Comodo Dragon as my browser.

Woot.com loads fine with Firefox and IE.

They stopped the great deals long before Amazon bought them.

Agreed. There are a LOT of things wrong with Woot. The Amazon acquisition may/may not explain it but I hardly ever unsubscribe to the sites I frequent .... but Woot.com was especially bad this last year so they got coal. No more of my money for you Woot!
