It has happened on both my phone (droid) and on my PC. Virus scan shows clean. Since people experiencing this issue are on the same site, and getting the same redirect, it sounds like an advertiser is breakin' the rules.

I have contacted the advertising companies and told them about this issue. I am not getting any pop up ads on my pc or cell phone. Are the ads different, or are the only from worlds of warcraft. I have sent a request to ban all advertising from blizzard entertainment, which owns warcraft.

Tough to pin down -- despite the number of times I check in here, I only ever got the redirect on my phone once, and on my PC once.

I used to have problems with certain ads "breaking" the Back button due to them filling up the History, but I'd found the ones that were doing that and blocked their domains. (Never had a problem with your regular racing company ads up top, and those still display fine)

Thanks for the input Michael, its a constant battle, I ban at least 20 to 30 advertisers a month that use google adsense and digital throttle. Just when you think you have a handle on it, some companies figure out a way to get through. It does not make sense, these companies get very few clicks and have a low impression score, seems like a waste of money to me.

I told Ken of this a couple of months ago and after further investigation I have found that it is related to an adware virus on individual computers. Still don't think it has anything to do with this site. These have been an ongoing problem for a while now. Just my 2C worth. Jim

Happens on my desktop only on CR, and it's always Warcraft. And the 'back' button won't get rid of it. I have to log off CR.
