Not sure who to address this to, so I'll say @shawn and @trailhugger just to make sure it gets covered.

I've been getting a popup/redirect, only on this site, using FireFox 34.0.5 on Win Vista. It's a www.softwareupdaterlp.com link, full link is included below. I've never seen this on my iPhone before, which is what I normally browse the site on. But earlier this week, I used my desktop to access the site, and I got this popup link, saying I needed to run an update. I'm pretty computer savvy, so I assumed this was some kind of hoax. I closed out of everything, ran 2 different virus scans, everything showed up clear on my computer.

So fast forward to tonight, I get the same message. I've been on a bunch of different sites tonight on my desktop computer, and when I come back to NC4x4, I get this link again. I google searched it, and sure enough, it appears to be some type of adware/malware/bad stuff.

I cant remember what thread I was in earlier in the week when I got the message; but, tonight, i was in the 'what beer are you drinking' thread.

Has anyone else had this problem, or know what may be causing it? Seems sort of strange to me.

Same thing just happened to me.
 
It's probably coming through an ad.
 
I get this at random. But only once per session. Usually it's on a picture heavy thread.

^^^^ That would be "it."
