Virus/Site Hijack

[monthefish]

Was just browsing the 'Grand Designs' thread on the TV section and the page got redirected to some weird page with a very long URL, but my IP stepped in to block it the page saying it was malicious.

Can the PH techy guys check this out?

Just had the same on the car jack thread...

Just block Java Script on this site. It seems to be the only way.

(The only problem with doing that is when you want to upload a pic via their 'Thumbsnap beta image upload', you have to enable Javascript for that and then turn it off again).

Been going on since July at least - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Based on the most recent post on the thread above HM were evidently "turning off" certain adverts - looks like they've been turned on again then

A decent adblocker is the only way you'll weed out all the crap / adverts / malicious scripts that HM & their preferred advertising partners are desperate to serve up.
