Forum pages infected with a virus???
When navigating to several TT-Forums web pages, immediately a(real, definitely) antivirus screen popped up, pointing to a virus something like "HTML/InfectedWebPage.Gen". Please check this out - it happened for the first time right now.

Re: Forum pages infected with a virus???
You may have some sort of infection on your system that is redirecting the Google adverts to a site containing an exploit. The forums themselves do not contain anything of the sort. You may want to check your HOSTS file (%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts), and ideally give your system a thorough virus and spyware scan.

OK, the problem has disappeared after a virus scan(should have been done a long time ago, but I usually use a different computer).
