Forum issue (Malicious ad?)

Post by hardon »

Hello,

Any idea what could be the problem, as I open forum main page, (https://www.realitymod.com/forum/) it redirects me into this location:
MyFilestore.com - Your File Hosting <- I do not recommend downloading anything from there...

And also opens an popup, this time to "video performer" download link.


*EDIT
I noticed, that this issue only appears if I come to this site via google search result (As in type realitymod forum in google search field). If I type the address with FQDN, everything opens as it should.



Once I close the page, and reopen the Realitymod URL, everything works fine again. It almost behaves so, that some cookie has been placed which then allows to by-pass this odd behaviour. So, malicious add perhaps? Anyone else getting this?

What backs this is that if I clear the cache, restart the browser and reopen the URL, this same issue reappears.

This is the only forum which I have encountered such behaviour, my computer is definately clean, no question about that. This problem also appears from another computer if placed on same network.

It's a known issue that seems to keep popping up every now and again despite attempts to prevent it everytime. I don't know anything else about it myself.
