Itunes randomly attempting outbound connection to findresults.site

[Kingofkod]

Hey ok I think I figured out what it was.  An old podcast I hadn't listened to in ages was redirecting itself to that site i think.  I'm guessing itunes was periodically trying to update the podcast feed and that's why it was tending to popup when I opened the program.  Here's a copy of the URL below and I've attached a copy of the malwarebytes prompt that happened when I tried to go to it in chrome.  If this sounds wrong or not likely then I'll keep looking around but I think this is it.

Nope, that sounds very likely. Great job in tracking it down.

Depending on what you want to do you can set that link to ignore but I probably wouldn't advise it. If the podcast is important to you though you might want to see if it's hosted elsewhere possibly.

I haven't listened to that podcast in years so it was an easy choice to remove it.  Plus it wasn't working which is what tipped me off something was wrong.  I assume either that domain or the podcast itself got compromised at some point in June when I started to get the popups but I have no idea how to investigate any of that.  Thanks for helping me along the way.

Nah I'm good man.  You can close the ticket or whatever if they have one for this.  Thanks again.
