Default Problems with this site and Redirect??

Anybody else having issues when on this site? I just rebuilt my PC again because of some Redirect virus I cant get rid of. Formated and reloaded windows. Worked fine all day till I went to this site. As soon as I tried going into a forum, the damn thing starts redirecting me to some other sites for buying books or movies or music . Is it just this site? Every other site I went to worked fine.

So WTF!!!


And I am on here now from work PC with no problems.

Click Start>

In the new window that appears type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes and press enter then close the window and try launching explorer and going to this site.

After rebuild and reload, did you put a good anti-virus scanner on the computer before going to the internet?

Default Maybe check your 'pop up' settings

If it was a virus doing that it would probably send you to **** sites. Don't rely solely on 'anti virus' to protect your machine. Non of them catch everything. You also need to be running malware software.
