Glad to hear you were able to get it sorted, Barkley

Still getting a chrome page redirect if I leave a page idle.

If you leave any page idle? Or a specific page? How long does it typically take for it to re-direct?

Where does it direct you to when it happens? Also, do you experience the issue when using any other browser? Or just Chrome?

It tends to be an Adobe flash page , which appears to be fake, telling me my flash needs updating etc. Only been using Chrome recently while editing, but can check. I feel my pc is clean, though I've thought that before.

Let me know what you find out with another browser; we're doing some screening in the meantime just in case we're able to re-create it

I've since ran Kaspersky TDSS killer and hitman pro, on top of my normal protection, and they're all telling me I'm clean. I normally get this kind of thing if I'm risking popups to watch a live stream etc, but I handle that side of things quite well, but unusual to get it whilst on the forum.

Yeah, re-directs are not something we endorse so you're not supposed to experience that while on the forum. I've been doing some screening since my last post and haven't seen anything yet, so it's possible that it could be taken care of already. But please do let us know if it's a continuing issue you experience (and screenshots will help too!)

Getting a bit silly now. The other 2 pages when left idle gave the following redirects: Is this down to Proboards adverts or my pc?

Hey, Barkley, Typically when a bad advertisement makes its way into circulation, there are additional reports of other members receiving the same, but the only mentions of of these redirects have come from you as far as I can tell. We've also been screening using our internal tools and haven't found anything just yet. That's not to say it couldn't be a ProBoards advertisement causing this, but it's also possible that your computer or browser is somehow responsible. You mentioned this: Nope, it's definitely something on my pc. Not a single advert loading issue on my other pc. Since you have another computer available to use for testing, can you check to see if the same redirects are occurring on that machine?

Nuicance, but we'll fix what evers up.

Thanks for giving it a shot, Barkley -- some ad screening was done on CheatAreZee's part and nothing turned up, so more info in terms of whether or not your other machine is getting the same issue would be helpful.
