malware warning when I click on some threads

Sent. It's popped twice on this thread as I tried to reply.

The malicious ads seem to want to hijack the browser to some sketchy ***.xyz domain. My antivirus stops it. They have gotten a lot more frequent.

Happened to me again earlier today.

Just happened again while reading the Trump Tariff thread in the political forum.

My antivirus says

Threat secured, we prevented your connection to f0yhaqr9okdj.xyz because it is a dangerous webpage. Threat category: URL:Malvertising.

I received a screenshot of the ad and have forwarded it to our ad partner. Hopefully they can correct it soon.

I can't figure out how to paste a screenshot here, but I keep getting the bright red page with this message:

"This site has been reported as unsafe.
Microsoft recommends you don't continue to this site... etc."

Same problem. I'm glad someone started a thread on this b/c I was getting really worried. It's only when I am on dcurbanmoms and only certain threads.

I keep getting "pulled" out of threads - including this one as I'm trying to write this. The screen will go white and I have to use the back browser to try and get back in and find my place.

Same. And I get "are you sure you want to leave this page" when I haven't started any kind of post or reply.

Now I'm getting this one too. I love this site but these issues make me stay away.

I still have not seen any of this behavior. Is anyone getting it who is not using Chrome?

I have informed our advertising partner about and they are looking into it.
