Its a possible malware? After that im access to alienwarearena.com ,im looking the address and i saw a strange thing. The address its "https://eu.alienwarearena.com/control-center?_gl=11yfwy16_upMQ.._gaMTIxMTI2MDE3MS4xNzQ2MzEyOTg3_ga_1234567890*MTc0NjMxMjk4Ni4xLjAuMTc0NjMxMjk4Ni4wLjAuMTU3NjcxMjYyNw.." and not only "https://eu.alienwarearena.com/control-center" If i delete manually the second part of the unwanted link, address will be normally. This happening only of Alienware Arena links.

there is something peculiar about this link, its like its linked to reddit somehow. is it malware. not entirely sure .

I would not even think that's malware. That's a string that would be in the source code, and it is either a bug or you messed with something.

When you see ? followed by text in a URL, that is the query string. It is a way to pass data to a webpage without it being a different webpage. In this case you've got two parameters, one named _gl and the other named _ga.

_gl and _ga are parameters used by Google Analytics for cross-domain measurement. If one person uses two different websites, normally their analytics will see two different sessions instead of recognizing that both are the same.

By using _gl and _ga, one site can pass a session ID to another site. You can see https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/devguides/cross-domain for more info

My guess is you clicked on a link from a Dell/Alienware property and that site wanted to tell AWA which site you came from, for analytics purposes

That's just google tracking you cross-domain... so yes it's malware
