Second time this has happened. Refreshed latest posts and I get redirected to a totally different site. Both instances recorded here: ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

My PC is kept quite clean, never have a problem with spyware (no porn, warez, free games etc) but I'll run a scan anyway. If I was sufferning spyware I expect I would get popups all over the place not just from one page on one site. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

BCF does not run any popups, redirects or "between page" ads and never will.
Most likely scenario is you've got some malware installed that is creating these. Other option would be a Google Ad that is misconfigured, but then I'd expect other people to also see them and for the broken ad to be promptly nuked by Google. ____________________ 3516 Miles, 11 Countries |

Cheers Korn, I ran malwarebytes and got only a few results, one being a reg entry for xbn.exe. I guess it might have been that. I think you're right it must have been triggered by a google ad, because it's never appeared at any other time.

Not as clean as you thought then
I take it yours Malwarebytes isn't the full version? if so you should enable Live Protection.
What antivirus are you using? (please don't say AVG) ____________________ Turbo R1

'Quite clean'.
I think 6 items counts as pretty clean, especially when 3 of them are just where I turned off notifications, so 3 reg entries is fair play since this is the first scan I've done this year. With this result I'll do without the overhead of live protection. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

True enough, but the same is true for everyone and I am willing to bet my PC is far far 'cleaner' than most. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

The hyperlinking on random words that turn into an advert.
Must be a new thing being rolled out because I've started noticing them on a few forums ...
Then I realised my ad block plugin was switched off
All gone  |
