Once in a while when I come here I get a page with a Google Chrome update prompt. It is a malware page so if y'all get it don't click on it but you'll have to close the browser to get off. I'm using Chrome so it may not apply to other browsers I don't know.
I scanned my system for virus and malware and I'm clean so heads up folks.

I sometimes get this screen too. I don't think the site is hijacked, I think it just happens because ProBoards allows ads to run here.

It's not an ad though, it's malware because of a brain fart I clicked on it but my AVG stopped it.

It typically happens on sites that don't do a whole lot of strong ad filtering, which is why there are unexpected pop-ups like these.

I use Ad Block Plus, but I have it disabled on this site so I can see the ads. I've never seen the one Parker describes, but I'm using Safari on a Mac.

Funny thing happened here. The malware Chrome Update stopped but now I can see the ads. They weren't there before and I didn't know I was supposed to see them.

I use Chrome on a Mac - I don't like Safari - and I've never seen ANY ads here - and I don't have adblock installed - I used to have it when I used Firefox, but that's a bit ponderous, so I switched to Chrome and haven't had any problems... Windows, though, is probably a wholly different experience... :-(

BTW: Just to clarify about not seeing any ads here - that's not strictly true - there ARE ad banners at the top - and sometimes - at the bottom of pages, but I just mentally ignore them - they don't interrupt what I'm doing etc, so that's why I don't even think of them...
