I thought I had a virus on my computer until I started doing more research, and it seems that this only occurs on forums, not regular websites. I'm not an expert at this, but it sounds like the forums were contaminated with a redirect code, sort of like a virus.

My question is, has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible that our forum has been compromised? It's also doing it on my iPhone as well, so it's not something g with my computer. As far as I can remember its only with links to the forum, not Facebook or Break or any of the other sites I usually go to. Anyone else? Am I crazy?

...don't answer that.

It only happens on my Windows machines. My Apple machines work fine. BTW, it never happens if you use Bing intsead of Google. FYI

I got that too the last few weeks and I don't like it one bit.
Search on here returns too many results, search on google or bing gets a redirect.
WTF?

You can do a google site search under Search -> Advanced Search. You'll see a lightly colored google search bar on the page.
