Zebra Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 For the past couple of days, every time I've clicked on the forum I've received an Avast warning pop-up saying that a malicious something has been blocked. I can still come on here etc but it's literally the moment I open the forum. Is this just my computer being weird or is there a virus on here? Link to comment
Blah!? Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 An easy way to upload images is imgur, which you can find here:http://imgur.com/I haven't had this issue before on this site, but I have seen it before on other web pages. I really hope it's just a fluke. Link to comment
alias Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I keep getting redirected to a weird site as well, but when I click "back" then try to enter again, all is well. I'm not sure what it's all about. Link to comment
High on Lullabies Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I haven't noticed this either, so if someone can post a screenshot and/or more details of exactly when and where it's occurring I would be very interested in checking it out Link to comment
marv77 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 This happened to me today too! I didn't take a screenshot, though, and now I can't get the weird redirect site to show up again. Link to comment
Clark Kent Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I have had this for a couple of days now.When i click the back button it gives me a pop up that says "click here to leave this screen" and if i do it lets me get to this site without any more problems.I'm just glad it isn't just me and that i can still get here.

Giant Steps Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Well, I've attached the screen I get but I don't know if it's the same as everyone else's? Wave your magic wand, HoL!! Link to comment
Pearlised Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah, giant steps, that's the one I get too. Easy enough to fix but a little worrying!! Link to comment
Ciel Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Today when I logged in I got directed to a weird site. I didn't take a screenshot but it was different from Giant Step's though. Probably a matter of your location, I think. When I clicked the "back" button, I got directed back to the forum. Now I can't make the weird site appear again! xD Link to comment
Zebra Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I don't seem to be getting redirected like the rest of you but that Avast pop-up is still appearing. I'm starting to think it's something to do with my Google Chrome so I'll system restore my computer and see where it gets me Link to comment
The Dead One Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Which of you who has seen that screen is accessing the forum through a wireless router? Link to comment
Ciel Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The site came back again! This time I took a screenshot Link to comment
Jorm Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I use Avast and I haven't gotten any warnings when I come here. Are you getting by typing in the url or, from a bookmark, or from clicking a link from some other site? Link to comment
The Dead One Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Right, I've done a bit of research and some domain checks.Basically, Invisionboard has somehow manages to cock their DNS up. Not really sure if there's anything we can do about that from here. Link to comment

I'm starting to think it's something to do with my Google Chrome so I'll system restore my computer and see where it gets meI don't know if it's too late or not, but I'm using both Chrome & Avast and I'm not getting any pop-ups from Avast when I access the site. I've also never been redirected to that wireless router page using Chrome on my laptop.On the other hand, I did have it happen once while using Safari on my iPad. Link to comment

Am afraid you are right in that there is most likely nothing that can be done from here to fix it. Link to comment
