Default Corvette forum virus

Anyone else having issues when you connect to their site? I have been redirected for a while now and today, when I went to enter my username and password it redirected me to some spinning wheel and said I must update my phone! This is starting to get really annoying! I hope the forum has a few people that can remedy this, especially after paying to support them!

This has nothing to do with this Forum. Your browser has been hijacked and is redirecting.

It only happens on this site. No matter if I'm on my iPhone or on a laptop!

I would suggest you run a malware scan on your laptop.

^ I agree. I doubt the redirect is coming from this site. A complete malware and virus scan would be indicated by the redirect.

On my Ipad I've gotten some page that says I won a gift card. Only seems to happen if I'm not logged in when I come to this site, and the poor ipad is getting hammered by google AdSense.

It looks like there is nothing to do with this forum. Why not scan your PC with antivirus as it seems like a browser hijacker or redirect virus thing.
