Being Redirected from Site

Often I'll just be scanning through CW, and suddenly I'll get redirected to a "security update" website which tells me that I've got all these viruses and stuff on my computer. It actually looks pretty professional and stuff, and I thought it must've been my own computer virus thing picking something up, but then realized it wasn't.

And then it happened again today at work, so now it's happened on two different computers. Has anyone else had this happen?

Can't say I've been having this problem and I've been on and off CW most of the day.

Yeah, I've been on most of the day too. It happened once this morning, a couple of times yesterday, and then to me again just before.

Not sure what the problem would be there. Could be a moderator thing for oppresing us poor normal members?

Happened to me last night. I checked my virus scanner was completely up-to-date and was in fact running, and did a complete scan that found nothing. A hack-job on the site?

Yea I got the same, I had a few windows open so didn't know which one it was from.

It was an amaena popup window which came up (search for it, plenty of stuff on it), my computer was clean tho fortunately.

I haven't had that happen to me, but sometimes I'll be in the middle of writing a post (usually a long one) and then the forum will simply reresh back to the page. It's weird and really annoying.

No problems for me but I have 'Adblock' installed on Firefox and notifications switched off. Sounds very bizarre.
