Happening to me as well with my brand new retina macbook pro (OSX Mavericks) using Google Chrome. I can only assume it is one of the Ads that opens up.
Using OSX 10.9.3 (Latest)
Using Google Chrome Version 35.0.1916.153 (Latest)

- Does not happen on my Windows 8.1 Machine with Chrome
- Does not happen on my Windows 7 Machine with Chrome
- I am a computer engineer and this is a new computer, no viruses on any of my computers.

Here's one of the popups:

The other ones are from the domain PCUPGRADENOW.COM or PCFIXNOW.NET

Malware. I've been getting that also.

Working with SEO on these.

I also got this and actually thought I needed a Java update. It's a really bad idea to go ahead and download the new "java update". Had to restore computer to an earlier restore point to make it all go away.

My Norton Antivirus probably saved my laptop.

Was the cause found?

just happened again...." java is recommended to proceed"

Still waiting on a resolution, support ticket is already submitted.

Try Malwarebytes and adwcleaner, then check your comp for a rootkit. eg TDSSKiller. Let us know if you find anything

My PC is fine, I never open the malware link.

[CBRob]

I think you have it fixed.

IT and dev looked into the issue and there is no issue in the code on our end. I made an announcement about steps to take to remove the malware: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/announcement.php?f=19

I'll look into things on my end....

Some of the programs can be pretty deeply seated, only come up on certain sites, etc.

I have been assured 100% by IT and dev, both of whom have looked into the issue, that everything is fine.

Then they are derp IT people. This is a known issue with out of date forum software. I bet 100% this only happens with people going directly to the forum instead of the main page, unless the main page is also ran by forum software. From what ive heard you guys are running a highly modified/custom setup which means I bet its hard to upgrade/update. It could also be a module that is the source of the security hole.

You probably know better than I would, I'm basically the middle man for code and server stuff. I'd recommend reporting a problem and explaining in detail what you've done/know.

I dont have the issue myself and ive been long out of the forum software game so im not 100% up to date anymore. But I would be interested to know if those affected have issues on any other websites (I doubt it) and if it only happens when clicking on the forum or use a bookmark that goes to the forum.

It doesn't even have to occur on other websites though, some malware will only pop up on certain sites (especially large or popular sites you visit frequently).

Yea, I only get it on BB.com. I didn't see any of the listed malware when scanning programs either. At least I know better than to click on the link when it pops up.

[zappyisfun]

still getting this shat. been going on for atleast 2 months now. ONLY on bb MISC. i even reinstalled my entire computer and i still get it.

i'm getting real tired of having to close the page 2-3 times before it lets me in.

[JeepCreeper]

Using win 7 and Chrome with adblock extension. I'm on bb.com daily. I have never had this problem. (knock on wood)

[TheBastille]

This happens from a compromised ad in the advertisements. That code is usually injected into your site so your IT people will most likely not find anything on "your" end.

[Bubbaxm2]

This is still an issue BTW. Only when joining directly to the forum, it doesn't happen if you enter from the main site first though.

I started using the google chrome extension "ad block" and it has ended the redirect problem for me. The redirect must be coming from one of the ads, as was suggested above.

[Bubbaxm2]

Yeah I have just been loading to the main site first to avoid it but I would think that bb.com would want to find and fix the issue since it is redirecting people to update their java and actually installing malware.

For me it's happening on both IE and Chrome on a daily basis. And only for bb.com. This redirect thing is getting old. It kills any desire to post in the forum. You should fix the problem instead of giving half-a.ss instructions on how to tweak browsers/comps on the user end. Right now bb.com is in the unsafe part of internet for me.

It's like coming to the store and telling the management that their window is busted. Only to get a caring advice to get your eyes checked out and get glasses.
