Help: Fake "Update Adobe Flash" Site

[jdoggivjc]

Is anyone else getting continuously rerouted to a fake "Update your Adobe Flash" site? And when I say rerouted, I mean completely leaving CycloneFanatic and being taken to a page originating in Belgium. I'll post a link the next time this happens.

And by the way, I doubt this has something to do with something on my computer because this only happens with CF.

 

[ISUPoker]

Yes just happened to me

 

[CycloneErik]

I don't remember one, but I'm scanning my computer now.

Yes. I just hit the back arrow and ignored it.

Yes, and I also only get it on CF, and I also just hit the back arrow and continue on. (I did make sure my adobe flash player is up to date.)

It has happened both with google chrome and firefox.

It happens every once in a while, but not just on this site. According to my security center, I don't have anything harmful on my computer though.

Also getting this at home (chrome) and work (firefox). Just back out as others mention.

May be a separate issue but I'm also having some sluggishness on the site using firefox at work. Like it's just slow to register keystrokes, often not even registering them. Also the same for clicks. Don't know if it's something on my end or not. I do a hard refresh cntl+f5 and it will work fine for a page or two then it starts getting hung up. CF is the only site that acts this way.

Chalk up another one for getting it on occasion.

Same here.

Same and only on CF, no other sites.

Count me in.

 

[Cyclonick182]

Add another to the list. I have Norton at home and Microsoft Security at work with neither picking up any viruses.

 

[Naughtius]

Strangely enough, it only happens to me in Chrome. No problems in Explorer. Weird.

 

[SerenityNow]

I get it, too.

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

I'll report this.

I am 100 percent sure it's coming from a third party ad (which can happen on any site that you visit) but again, I'll report it anyway. I wouldn't worry about a virus or anything like that though. We will do our best to locate the vendor and take care of it. Thanks for the heads up .

 

[cyhawkdmb]

Thanks Chris. I get it from time to time too.

Got this redirect on both my laptop and desktop today after I turned my ad block off. It's obviously coming from the ads here since ad block on, no phony site redirect. Ad block off, redirected twice on different computers running different protection suites.

My Norton Anti(you name it) actually blocked the redirect yesterday, claiming it a known phishing attempt.

 

[CyinCo]

Just got this again now. Chrome gave me a warning that it is a fake scam file.

Not sure if it matters but I wasn't logged in as my user name when it happened.

 

[Wesley]

Me too.
