    I just figured it out for real.

    Go to Chrome and turn off JavaScript.

    Cookies are fine but JavaScript triggers it somehow.

    Shutting off JavaScript also disabled Shoutbox so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Disabling JavaScript definitely kills it so I don't know if that helps you Jeff but it is only happening on this site for me so I don't think it is my device.

    I'm betting java is just what is being used to take execute the malware.

    I installed Firefox Android and it has an adblock extension.

    That also stops it.

    I shut off Javascript on both browsers... seems to work.

    Only two issues I have is no Shoutbox - which is no big deal to me - and it won't show "new posts". That second one kind of sucks since I use that info all the time, but...

    ... getting hijacked sucks worse. It's a push.

    Though, if I create a shortcut on my android's desktop for new threads, that forces it to work.

    @TitanJeff

    would an investment/retirement plan thread be ok in the lounge? I don't think strictly talk about that would warrant a move to taboo.

    granted I know we have no actual financial advisers, to my knowledge, on the forum, but I think it could be beneficial.

    Actually, I do that, and this problem was happening to me on my phone as well.

    This ad issue had been happening to me while on the road this week. I actually started getting a "Forbidden" message when trying to come to this site on Thursday. I am not a software whiz here, but when I came back home, removed the default link to the site, and re-accessed the site I stopped having the issues.

    I may disable the JavaScript on my browsers as well (after I figure out how to do that on my android). I don't use Shoutbox so that is no loss for me.

    Not a bad idea, but my guess is that you'll be surprised by how many folks think that they are "advisors" LOL. I am not one....me and return on investment are like anti-magnets.
