i am convinced that the ads that take over the page are linked to this site
when it happens the top bar retains the logo associated with c and m and the only way out is to hit the red x in top rh corner or i have just discovered you can go back to home page by clicking on the logo that is part of c and m address bar
the company (or one of the companies ) that take over the page is http://www.glispa.com who a google search show as a major promotional/advertising company
if this site is responsible for allowing these ads to hi jack the site i believe (no matter how niavely) it is up to them to rectifty the situation

Brian, this is not at all what I was getting.

Whilst I have Avast running I get nothing but a warning that a threat was detected and averted. Without Avast then my URL is completely redirected to other sites and all reference to the forum is lost. I may finish up at ZigZagfones.com and they featured as an issue in the UK.

I have not had any pop-up adverts. My experience is a complete hijack away from the CandM website to other promotional or sales sites. It is as if there is a website forwarding action occurring

Avast report example...

I get these alerts every single time I access the forum for anything. Surely some others do too ?????

Yes OT. I get the same message and I am using ESET Nod32 antivirus system. The message comes up every time I click onto a new forum message

Safe travels

I also have ESET which blocks the address. I am typing the message as I read. It says:
"Address has been blocked.
URL address: http:/www.cpmservice3.com/js/show_ads.js
IP address: 212.124.112.228"

It has been happening for 2 or 3 weeks now.

had no problems for last 2 weeks
so either the forum has been fixed or my virus protection (norton) has detected a virus and rectified it

I used to get the malware alert referred to by OT until I turned on ADBLOCK in Firefox. Now there's none.

It has now stopped for me too.

I mentioned in another topic that I reported this matter to the Tech guys and I have been waiting for an explanation. I have been informed that there was a dodgy advert that was causing the malicious redirects. It was disabled on the weekend and there shouldn’t be any more issues in that regard.

Cheers

thanks for the explanation i was beginning to believe i was doing something wrong
