A very peculiar thing with the RSS feeds for some of the blogs that I read has happened since yesterday.
I use comment in the Feed Demon support forum about it. Then, I checked a little further into the properties of each of the channels - and discovered that the feed URL in every single channel in this group (28 channels) has been changed to something else, as this screenshot for one of those feeds shows.
Wow! I've not encountered anything like this before. Something has hijacked the RSS feed URLs for every single channel. So every time the channels in this group check for updates (that's once per hour), it's going to this hijacker URL. And what's happening then, I wonder?
This may be coincidental, but the only thing I can think of that might be the cause for this is that I've been connected to 'foreign' networks for the past couple of days when I was in Paris for Nick Bradbury, Feed Demon's developer, that something like this could happen.
So I'm now running a deep scan of my PC with Microsoft AntiSpyware to see if that turns up anything.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
