Anyone else getting this? When I click on a page, it zooms off to some obscure website, nothing to do with MN?!

[Flubba]

This keeps happening ~ I'm clicking on my normal links (Threads I'm On, Last 15 mins, All Topics, Blogs etc etc), and instead of loading the MN page, it loads some pile of crap (mostly DSC something or other, but just now it was a farming website)

It kept happening to me before Christmas-I was having to be very careful which threads I clicked on!

If I went to SnowyKitten's weather thread, it took me straight to John Merrell hiking boots but believe you me you wouldn't want to go where it took me when I clicked on some of the relationships threads.

Is it when you click a thread title? I would get the thread in the background and then a pop up window with saucy girls and pingpong balls. (or hiking boots) Scans didn't pick up anything and it seems to have disappeared now.

Hello. And oo, er, that all sounds very odd.

We think it's more likely to be a problem with your browser than a problem our end. Some types of malware do produce this kind of thing, we're afraid.

No, I never get the thread in the background, it's as if the page I've clicked IS about pharmaceuticals or farming today or whatever. May well be this end, but it only happens when I'm on MN. Hey ho, so far it's at least not x-rated stuff! :o

You just try clicking on some of the Friday night threads!

The fun you can have with a pingpong ball,I'm telling ya.

You might be wise to run a virus and malware scan on your PC. Sounds a bit like malware.
