Just a word of warning for those searching the internet today for anything relating to H.R.3590.

Seems there are quite a number of attack sites that have somehow spammed Google with links redirecting to attack sites, under the guise of having the bill. Most of the sites were detected by my browser (see pic above) but my filter did not pick up one and Windows Defender kicked in. In less than 10 seconds, I downloaded no less than 20 trojans in one shot. Fortunately my Malware software is scanning and deleting the trojans and viruses, but it's a pain in the ....

Somebody is having some fun with this today. So be careful out there if you do go searching for this information.

You've been hit with a trojan that's proxying your browser. Google is fine. Nobody else is having this problem.

Sorry you got infected though!

No, it's not that. I was getting those pages before I got hit. If you're looking for a PDF of this file, you will be redirected. Just Googling HR3590 will give valid results. This is for people looking for a PDF of the bill.

I'll try again using IE. Right now I'm using FireFox.
