I have noticed a few times now that this forum reloads into some strange malware site that tells me my computer has this or that, has anyone else noticed this? |

Never happened to me. Either you're clicking on an ad or your computer has something I'd say |

Happened to me, I virus scanned and the only thing picked up was my folder of dodgey key gens If it happens again I'll print the screen and post it here. |

Just did it to me about half an hour ago when I tried to open General Banter on a new tab in Firefox. Being tired, I closed it before I remembered about wanting screen shots. That said, it was the thing that brings up a window of what looks like Windows Explorer at the "computer" page, with hard disks and other peripherals. Like Gonzo, if it happens again I'll try and capture it. Dave out. |

Chances are that there's a rather unfriendly script embedded in one of the ads being served here. I'd bet my third nipple that its to an 'antivirus' that extorts your machine. |
