auto-redirect to http://wpkg.org

Hi everybody,

today when I try to visit some website from China, safari auto-redirect me to this website: "http://wpkg.org".

Do you think it's a virus or a malware?

There is the same situation also surfing with firefox.

Please, help me because it's impossibile to explore any website.


Thanks a lot,


Marco
