I'm getting it today too, ADWCleanner didn't bring anything, my antivirus says clean too.

For twenty minutes I also was redirected, within a couple of seconds, to findingresult.com, and always to a visualdna page.

 

I'm using Chrome from my desktop, the problem has now cleared, and it was only occurring when I had selected the forums page on the Autosport website.

We've had some problems with a third party analytics tag this morning, I think that might have been what's causing today's problems.

We've disabled it for now, we won't be switching it back on until we're sure that the problems have completely gone away!

Thanks for owning it, when this kind of stuff just goes away without explanation I get antsy.

Exactly the same was happening on another Haymarket motor-themed forum yesterday.

Yip. Same here on the default android browser. Was it a particular thread? I wonder if someone is imbedding code in a signatute or post?

Yep - the tag we disabled on Friday afternoon was present across quite a few of the Haymarket sites. The fact that you were seeing the same problem across our different sites suggests that our developers are right in thinking that it had to do with that code!

So long as no one has seen the same issue since Friday afternoon, there should be no danger that it's anything to do with particular threads, posts or signatures.

Just as a small update on my issue, that almost seems like it was some sort of IPBoard issue, as I haven't had it for a couple of weeks on any IPBoard forums (which where the only ones I had issues on).
