DVD Talk Limited Edition
I'm glad i'm not the only one who got this. I got it a few days ago and thought there was something wrong with my computer.
I did find it a tad odd having my non-windows PC being checked for malicious Windows stuff.
Should I be concerned about what the site was trying to do even though I'm running Linux?

My Norton Security Detected a virus because of this!!
DVD Talk please fix this ASAP.
If I did not have Norton Security, I would have a virus now.
The Forums are great and I hope you get it fixed.

Just some more info on clicking. I've had this happen 4 times. 3 of them were when I clicked the "first new post" button before a thread title. It happened in various forums.
The fourth time I was in mid-sentence in typing a reply and it happened. I didn't even click anything. That was about 30 minutes ago.

And here I thought it was just me! This happended Friday, and now again today. I'm running Firefox, but I haven't anything else to add, but now I know what to look for when/if it happens again. As others have said, it immediately shrinks my window into a dialouge box and then to some crap antivirus site. If it happens again, I'll try the source info stuff!

I got hit with the performanceoptimizer.com hijack this morning when I clicked on the bargains forum from the home page.

I just got the performanceoptimizer.com one. Got the same one last night on my desktop at home. Last night I was in the TV Talk forum, this morning I was on the Hot Deal forum.

I just got the performanceoptimizer.com one clicking through the sports forum. I was using Firefox all weekend and didn't notice it, as soon as I used IE through work it came up on my first link through DVDTalk.

DVDTalk/Malware Scanner Warning - Multiple Computers
On both my home computer and my office computer - I have been browsing DVDtalk and suddenly - when I click a thread title, a warning saying that Malware has been detected on my computer. Then it says to click ok to go to the scanner. I of course closed out of it, and when I go back to DVDtalk (as I am now) everything is fine. But I'm sure if I clear my cache it will do it again.
Any ideas?

I just tried to go to the TV Talk forum, and I was greeted by a pop up that went to that link.
It kept wanting me to install this malware program.

Hope you get them, Geoff.
