Problem with site

[kam9999]

I did try to find a link to email you about this rather than posting a message.

Several times yesterday on my iPad (using Safari), I was redirected to a porn site when I clicked on the Grogheads Forum Link.

Today, I have had the exact same issue on my Desktop, using Chrome.

You may have a problem?

You mean...this ISN'T a porn site? I'm leaving.  :P   No problems here.

This is when you click the Forum link on the front page?  No such issue for me  ???

[Gusington]

I just tested it a couple of times, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

[kam9999]

It happens only very occasionally and very randomly.

Does it happen with any other links or website?  You might be infected with malware.

I was on a fair amount yesterday with no problem.  I suspect you have some malware

[kam9999]

That was my initial thought.

But it has happened on an iPad and a PC, and only on the Grogheads website.

It happened to me too (Firefox) !

And it doesn't happen on other sites.   I Have AVG running and I also use Malwarebytes.

But I always use this link to access the forums : http://www.grogheads.com/forums/index.php?wwwRedirect;board=5.
This shows me the Computer Gaming sub forum.

I'll try a few times using the homepage to find out if it makes a difference.

That is really weird. I am constantly loading the site and nothing like this has ever happened.

Next time it happens can you please take screenshots (nothing explicit) showing the links and any other information that could possibly be used to investigate this. Unless we can reproduce it on our end, it will be difficult to come up with a solution.

You can send info and attachments to craigh@grogheads.com.

Thanks.

I got redirected to a pron site the other day on my work computer.  Keep in mind my work computer has all the latest high tech security on it. 

Today I was redirected to another site that looked like Microsoft.  It claimed I needed to scan my computer for malware.  If it happens again I'll post a screenie.

^It happened on your work computer?? Eek.

^It happened on your work computer?? Eek.

Yup, scared me to death.  I scrubbed my browsing history that day so the work admin won't think I'm up to no good.

[Jarhead0331]

How is it possible for something like this to happen?

Why would it be intermittent and only sometimes? Why would it happen seemingly at random to some and not others?

[Gusington]

Maybe there is nothing going on here at all, but an actual coincidence that it happened to two or three members who actually are infected with malware on their own devices.

The fact that W8's work computer can even get to a naughty site makes me think that it might be user infection.
