ADMINS! Dodgy pop up in the Repairs and Technical Forum.

Dunno if anyone else has experienced it on here, but the following link (Don't click it!) (removed) popped up and totally obliterated the page I was looking at which was.

Luckily I got my browser closed before it disabled it.

Sounds like that's generated by a browser 'helper' toolbar rather than anything to do with BC.

Maybe check your plugins to see if there's anything strange in there.

No molan, there's nowt dodgy in there I have one extension that being Adblock Plus. and I'm one for running frequent security checks.

There is history of this on basschat, there is a thread knocking about with similar things happening with pop ups on here. I never click any links on here because it seems to be an unresolved issue.

I didn't click on any links mate, I just searched for a threads to do with nut problems, found one, opened it, started reading and suddenly it was replaced, with a page with an automated voice saying something about security issues, I quickly closed it, as I could see by the circle icon on my screen that it was starting to load or run something else.
