    This is likely spam guys - what ever it asks you to install do not take action.

    I've reported this to the HQ and will keep you guys posted!

    I replied to another post in the about website section of the forum.
    http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=93218

    I get it bad with chrome on windows 10.

    it even opens a second tab/popup
    whilst the tab with djtt forum open is redirected. I get alerts from the pages rthat I am directed to blocking any further usage of that browsing session.
    I have had to go into task manager (ctrl+alt+del > task manager) to kill the process of chrome.

    I am still testing by clicking around the forum, I think ad-block plus is blocking it???

    but running ad-block. DJTT has on the blog in place of adverts (or as a background that will show if an ad is blocked.)
    a message to politely stop blocking the adverts on the site.

    the problem I get is seemingly just limited to the forum. (is there a bug or virus or something else) wrong with the forum? security loophole that lets things through?

    I use adblock plus and ghostery and I haven't seen any of the things you guys are describing.

    yeah... my testing (temporarily disabling on this site) confirms ad-block plus does indeed block them.

    allowing adverts to show on DJTT isnt a way to support DJTT, as the so called "adverts" physically drive people away from the site (forum at least).

    I got adware the second I tried to log in. I didn't even get a chance to put my username in when I got a popup saying, my mac need cleaning or my flash player is out of date.

    Could it be the Russians?
