Hi I type in amazon.smile.com/ and get redirected to https://chat.poo..com/?images=off&name=smile, If I use google search to get to it no issue. I have used MS browser and get there no issue. I have emptied all of my cookies and ran a scan with bit defender still nothing.

If you have a suggestion to correct this it would be great.
