I was redirected ~7 times yesterday. Each time I got a warning message from Google saying I should turn back, and so I did. Chrome is awesome...

Same here. The worst is when it moves the cursor to the ad mid-post. I wish the Chartz would use more reputable ad services. I never have problems like this on other gaming sites. Firefox+Flashblock+NoScript do the deed, but I really don't care for the Fox myself.

So, what's actually causing it. It only happens to me on this website, and I've ran so many scans and it finds nothing.

BTW: if you don't know already, when it does redirect, go to task manager and close av.exe immediately as this is the trojan

First of all, I THINK it's only people in the US getting redirected. If you have been redirected and you DONT live in the US, let us know.

We are working on this.

Yup it was really bad last night. I was getting redirected every single post I clicked. Luckily I have chrome so it would warn me before It happened.
