    Ok this happened to me at work and just now when I came home to check on the forum.

    Has anyone had this issue? I have adblock, and AVG to pick up any threats...And no I am quite sure I have not visited any other suspicious sites...

    This just happened today..Anyone else having this issue? I took a screenshot of the AVG threat removed box I just got, did not screencapture the Adultfriendfinder.com site...But its chicks in their underwear...It literally redirected TGG to that site.

    Is this a issue just with me or the site? Might as well bring it up because it only is happening when I go to TGG. :S

    FYI- If i clear cookies and go back to TGG it doesnt come up

    Guys I just went to the forum on my phone (desktop version) and it took me to adultfriendfinder...I think tgg has been hacked with spyware...

    I know Petro said this stuff was harming the site with google so they got rid of sexy pics of girls...people are saying If this crawls up with google and gets their attention it could be a bigger problem.

    Hopefully he or a admin is alerted about this

    I signed in earlier and it tried to load a long website name that wasn't TGG. X'ed out immediately, can't find the site in my history though

    My son opened the browser on this iPad and it popped up. Not good apparently. It could have been porn.

    I haven't PM'd him, no...Now we know others are getting it, I think he should be made aware of this thing and the thread to get it sorted out.

    Ok sent a PM to Petro and Cman, the sites are definitely NSFW and stuff you'd probably see on sites that arent usually found on this forum

    Have not had this happen yet. Using Firefox with pop-ups blocked and Kaspersky AV.

    I did clear all my cookies a couple of days ago. I recommend doing this at least once a month. I tend to do it more often.

    It happened to me on Firefox at work and home...I have adblock too...AVG caught the threat but it still redirected the site.

    On my phone it happened on the stock browser of the TGG site on the samsung galaxy phone.

    Those of you who have experienced this... are you on PC or Mac? Also, what browser?

    Thanks
