Possible virus

Has anyone else had issues with the forum redirecting their browser to a phishing site claiming you need to update flash player today? This has happened on two separate computers on different internet connections. Antivirus does catch it so havent been able to view the sites in question.

It's not the forum. Usually such things happen when you install malware as part of another installation (for example a browser addin such as a search toolbar), though you can get it other ways.

How is it chasing me around? I use firefox at home. I use IE at work. Separate computers. Separate internet connections. Makes no sense that it isnt connected to the site. Cant think of a way it could be connected to me rather than the site? Can you?
