This evening when trying to load up certain ih8mud pages I was redirected to a fake adobe website prompting me to download a fake flash player called java.exe. If anyone else got this and ran that software I recommend you update your anti virus software and run a virus scan.


Sorry for the off topic, but this is pretty important and relevant to anyone here who was affected by this.
 
if you happen to catch it again, right click the link and copy the text...then paste within a [ code ] [ /code ] wrapper and I'll chase down the rogue network

blocked this one a few seconds ago...
 
two pages on the site redirected straight to a page on a domain similar but not the same to www.adobe.com and tried to start a download called java.exe. At the save or run prompt I cancelled. The pages that redirected were the 40 & 55 series forum index, and the subscribed threads page. Going straight to a bookmarked thread didn't cause the problem.

There was a period of about 37 mins when there were no new posts, from 00:47 to 01:24 GMT (about an hour ago) so I think this was affecting all visitors to the 40 & 55 page.
