What is secure.transfer.redsourceinteractive.com ?

People,

Can anyone here please explain and let me know why is that my web traffic from my laptop is mostly from secure.transfer.redsourceinteractive.com website ?

I tried to copy paste that URL itno my browser but it is not opening anything useful.

Note: From 7 days period of continuous traffic monitoring, secure.transfer.redsourceinteractive.com accounts for more than 60 GB of web traffic alone to my computer.

If it is a dangerous website, how can I report it to Symantec or Microsoft to take it down ?

Thanks,

OK, but how come it is so big ?
During 7 days of my computer not shutting down it uploads something ?

If your browser is active and has an EE page (or perhaps something related) open, I have no doubt that traffic flows regularly in both directions. That's how simple things like the 'Notifications' are possible in the banners. A script for example makes regular queries to see what might have changed.

Do a 'View page source' on this web page. Look at references to "redsource" in scripts outside of where you and I have it in our text.

EE is definitely not the only site that uses this technique.

When I close the broswer, it seems that the problem goes away.

That' must be very bad bug considering I'm not using the "live" section and those data is uploaded / refreshes daily..

that's pretty big for a text only website.
