When opening a second tab, there is a "keurg.com specialty .............this site is for sale" in the full page grid that lists old tabs. address is: HTTP://ww1.keurg.com/. Like problem 1, this thing doesn't go away and is the only thing in the grid. I have ordered stuff from WWW. KEURIG.com, but not recently. It appears that the actual keurig website may have been hacked and the data used to send a directed trojan that hides in the tab grid. Use of the word keurg might cause a keurig customer to click on it. Don't know what would happen and don't intend to find out. Had norton check it out and nothing was found. Virus scan was negative. This site I've never visited popped up on its on and won't go away. It is a security concern.

Is that site pinned on the about:newtab page or is this a history item?
