OK, as much info as I can give you, I cant get the http redirect numbers it flashes past too quick. I will try use a video camera to catch it happening, and if possible repost with the redirect numbers for you. Op system Windows 7, Browser IE with Windows Firewall, Norton Anti-Virus, AVG, Super Anti-Spyware and Spybot, all paid for versions, and all constantly running. Location, Adelaide, South Australia. Also it does'nt just happen on the front page, it happens on the BBS pages and the Flash Portal pages too. And everytime it has happened, I have checked so far, and the top and bottom banner ads have both been the recently added KLM ads. Hope that helps Wade.

Cheers, gamejunkie.

if they are getting there from typing it in to google and reaching it from there, i know that the "google redirect virus" is common

It's getting worse now appears on the flash instead of just the front page

Happened a while ago on this computer ( it's my grandad's and he only uses IE, I don't know what anti-virus he uses). I'm in Scotland and the site was called antivirusdownloadscan.com.

It's back again. Yesterday i got redirected to a site with a trojan, but my Avast stopped it cold. And just now i got another fake A/V redirect.

I might take a look at this later if I can set up a USB install of Linux to test it with.

Why not just use adblocker? Derp.

I think it's possible to get ABP to do that, but NoScript is easier to use. And it looks like they have a workaround in place to force ads onto ABP users (line 163 of the main page source), although I don't have ABP so I'm not sure what that actually does / if it works.

windows vista 32 bit home premium edition. got it today, and made athread about it.

*facepalm*

First time this happened, I switched to Firefox now though and it seems to be fine, so far.

I'm getting this today and so are a few other people.

Mine was clicking a game on the front page took me there, doesn't happen everytime though.

This has happened to me twice. It's not very common, but it does happen when I go to a game page, not the front page. Second time was this morning.

I'm using chrome on win 7, and I'm in the UK.

Always used Google Chrome and it works great. You should download it, too - it's super fast!

Give me the link to the virus please! I want to test my security with NoScript, RequestPolicy and Torbutton.

All good for me.

No problems for iOS Safari.
