I clicked into the "Intel Motherboard" section of the Forums.

Once I did that 10 seconds later the whole web page disappeared and then a small Pop-Up window popped up and said.

"Your drivers are out of date click ok below to Update drivers"

Of course I didnt click it, I had to go into Task Manager to close the Internet Explorer Pop-Up.

It's only happened once, Ive been cruising this section of the forums for weeks and it has never done this. It hasnt happened again yet.

FYI: Internet Explorer 9.0.5 (latest version)

Could you possibly give us the URL of the popup? Please copy and paste the link of the advert and PM it to Chipp for removal.

Been having the same kind of popup appear with Firefox.
It also will try to send you to the URL shown at the top of the popup box as if it's your homepage when you first reopen Firefox. Closing it again will let you go back to your set home page though. Also know I have Firefox setup to NOT check for updates so it shoudn't be doing this.

Here's a screenie of the popup message box with the URL as shown in Firefox.

I've also experienced this issue. I'm quite sure that it's from a rouge ad that is rotated on this site. The reason being that I had it happen on the home page so it's not from a rouge user posting something.

Also, in my case with the current Chrome Beta it's not just a single window, it's a full on redirect. *shudders*

Looks like this is coming from China.

If this pops again I'm going to have to blacklist OCN with Adblock+ again until this is fixed.
