Default Advertiser Abuse

Of course it's a poorly controlled Java or Flash thing but there seems to be one or two advertisers that are letting slip in some funky third party vendors. I've not yet narrowed which one is the source but I keep keep getting the following re-direct on a few of the pages on this site.

http://premiumvideoupdating.be/f3/72...&source=mbs-f3

It is trying to mask itself as a legitimate flash update but is pretty nefarious in the end. It is ONLY happening on this site.

It was just a direct link into a subforum but I think the timing was coincidental. I think it was coming from one of the hover links from Ad-Choices when my mouse pointer passed over. I've been trying to duplicate it again to find the source.

It doesn't happen all the time. Maybe once every five or six days. Possibly the source is trying to not draw too much attention to it.

Default Darn crooks just tried to sneak in another one.

This time from the main page. Did not click anything. Got a java or flash redirect on Google Chrome browser from something on the page and it sent me to.

Trying to scam you into downloading a bogus updated Chrome install.
