email links running through url.emailprotection.link before actual site

As of this morning, if I click on a link in my email, it is running through this url - url.emailprotection.link - before then taking me to the actual site. I have no idea where this came from or how to get rid to it. I have no extensions in my browser (safari) and i don't see anything weird in my email settings. I empty the browser cache and restarted but it's still there. Any idea what this is or how to get rid of it? T



Thanks

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.
