    Yeah it reverses your site so it looks like you're looking at it in a mirror, everything's backwards.

    A mirror site is supposed to by one served in another country for faster speed.

    What the hell this is sure is a mystery to me. :confused:

    Maybe Shawn knows what it is?

    Did you put a url in the box and see the site backwards? I can't see that coming in handy for anything. Maybe I am missing something. :confused:

    I hope it is not a spyware site, it came in the server logs as a referral.

    How in the hell could this thing produce a referral?

    I am running a scan right now with Adaware to see.

    Let me know the results. I have strange referrals in my server logs too and it's worse, it will say someone was referred to my site from some link so I click the link and it goes to a porn site that does not have any links to my personal blog site on it. It's strange.

    Some of those sites are loading malware (porn sites) and run by the Russian Mafia, some of the worst hackers are there because there is no law enforcement.

    :(

    Did you try the main site - http://sytes.org ? It shows all kinds of tricks you can do to your page and a brief description of each. It just seem's pointless, I guess some find it fun to blur/distort/reverse their sites.

    If you are running a PC you need security help.

    See link below to download free spyware/malware/adware/anti-virus software

    3 direct links to download free programs

    http://www.searchwars.squarespace.com/free-software-downloads/

    Adaware SE

    Spybot 1.3

    Spyware Blaster which keeps spyware from loading in the first place as it works like an AV program.

    No malware was loaded Kalina, just had some tracking cookies. :)

    FLAww, a lot of these sites are a waste of time, why put them up?

    Some sites like these are just spyware front sites.

    That is why you have to be wary of them :mad:
