Web site redirects

[Thomas G.]

Is anyone else having their browser redirected to commercial sites when you click on links here?

This only seems to happen here on this site. I've cleaned my computer a couple of times and it keeps getting reinfected with the Exploit:Java Blacole.DF virus.

Nope, no problems... never have. But, I STAY logged in.. and I don't click on any "commercial" sites unless it's a link I purposely want to go view/see.

I use McAfee (total protection) and it constantly runs and upgrades.

Tom, is there a particular post that you can remember caused you problems? I'm betting the mods/admins would like to know about it.

Sometimes members inadvertently imbed bad links in their posts. If you can help us track it down, Tom, we will be glad to remove it! (Thanks Donna.)

Make sure you are logged in. I notice that I get oodles of ads if I am looking at this forum without being logged in. They disappear when I am logged in.

In my case I was logged on and clicked on one of the new threads in the right column of the forum home page, which took me to a commercial site. I paged back and reclicked and it took me to the appropriate thread.

Thomas, you most likely have the "redirect virus". It is very wide spread. I got it in my computers about two months ago. Google the term for a descriptions and solutions.

I always get this when I first come the Home Page, before I log in:

Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. ________________________ [Allow?] X

I always click on the "X" to close the announcement, never on the [Allow]
It's annoying.
