Well the past few days all I get when trying to view mud forum it automatically redirects me to this. I disabled java and it has stopped so far.

been getting them for about 6 weeks now.
the ONLY site I get them on is mud
so is the silverstar the way out of this?
does that also disable whatever securuty hole is being exploited by these malicious ads?
If that is the key to secure use here I am fine with that and will buy 1..guess I wasnt paying attention and my silverstar lapsed...
also noticed its loading extremely slow intermittently, like a script running in the background..go check the other forums I use facebook etc and they are fine at the same moment....
Yes, supporting members see zero ads on mobile.
The issue is being reported continually by hundreds of sites...MUD is certainly not the only target. I've looked into options to prevent it, but the $1500/month invoice is daunting, with no guarantees that it actually works.
There is no security exploit. What you are seeing is a redirect, plain and simple. Those "warnings" are fake, but great scare tactics.
I've not noted page speed/load issues, and I'm on my mobile device constantly. hmmm...
Like others have said, Mud is the only site that I visit that does this for whatever reason (signed in or not signed in). I'm on a dozen or so other Toyota and off-road forums and I've never had an issue with any of them.
I can delete my posts now. Fancy!Those other forums are owned by a big company that owns thousands of other forums....economies of scale, they have a team to chase down problems and funds to hire outside help....MUD has always been a one man band. I do what I can to fix issues like this, but they occasionally plague me as well (I always browse the site at a "guest" level).
Supporting memberships are only $20 per year....ZERO ads on mobile, and only one 728x90 banner on desktop.

Huh? That's your virus/security software doing something weird or an issue with your service provider and how it's connecting....IH8MUD has been on a secure SSL connection for a year or more now.
