I recently had the oddest thing happen: I visited a website using the Google search engine. I did not register for the site or log in, however, the next day, I rec'd an email from the domain that had the following message and link:

fromsupport@www.gcreef.com

You can't miss it now! http://dinospizzas.comli.com/j2rj5vw.php">Don't miss
I checked my security software and found no problems with my machine. It appears that someone is tracking visitors to the website I visited and then using that domain name to send out spam emails. I don't quite know how this is being done, whether I'm being tracked or the website is being tracked. Anyone have any ideas?
