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.

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).

The powers that be are working on fixing the problem.

adblock plus w/chrome.

No issues.

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?

I get that too... on clicking the username text box to get focus for typing.
