Possible virus?

[Squeak]

So, I was browsing the forums a couple of minutes ago and minimized Firefox to check on something. My Firefox opened up and the Argonath forums tab was redirected to a "VirusDoctor/Rootscan." After that I got a pop-up which prohibited me from closing the tab. I've also been getting random pop-ups while browsing the forums. So, I ask.. watdufuxup?

By the way, apologies if it's in the wrong section, I couldn't find a more suitable location.

I have never gotten a popup from argo :S

I've been getting a shitload of popups and stuff only from the argo forums...

Sometimes i'll be browsing the forums and all of a sudden I hear people talking like a video is running but I can't see anything.  Then if I close only that Argo tab, it goes away.  Sometimes a pop-up thing comes up and I have to close it.  And sometimes it redirects the page to some random website and I have to close it and find the topic I was at again..

Check, maybe there is a program that enables those stupid pop-ups for publicity or something, for most of all users it works just fine including me.

Well I know it's definitely not me, unless I happen to have a virus that ONLY makes pop-ups on www.argonathrpg.eu.  Which would be really silly.

Same thing here, it's really odd. :trust:

You fail lavamike Theres an MP3 Player added on www.argonathrpg.eu wich plays songs like GTA Intro etc.
 :ps: I got popup too from www.argonathrpg.eu but I usually only use forum so I havent noticed it :P

Yeah, I sometimes got strange erotic pop-ups few months ago, especilly using Firefox...
I am afraid it can still pop up... it just depends if the ad company wants it or not I guess.

I get those pop-ups too, and some of them have virus'. My AV is good enough to immediatley remove them though.

[Chase]

I used to get them.. I installed the Adblock extension for firefox.. and didn't get them no more.

Never gotten such stuff with IE or Chrome...

Just when I was reading this topic, my page got redirected toward another website twice. I even got several popups showing up on the forum once in a while.

Well that seems wierd as im using firefox and use the argo forums and not noticed any kind of popups or had any webpage redirections  :trust:

No, I don't even use the home page.  I am talking about the forums.

Say I have 2 tabs open.  One with me wrtiting this post, one with Google.  Sometimes I will start hearing people talking and then if I close this tab or click post/go to a new page on this tab it stops.  There is no MP3 player on the forums, and what i'm hearing isn't music.  It's either 2 people talking like they are filming a porno or something or it's that stupid "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE ONE A FREE IPOD!  CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!"

We have had a long time ago an ad company that was running sound ads, however as far as I know they never went in to business.
Perhaps they are only targetting US users. If anyone has this, PM me.
