IMPORTANT - Are you being redirected to another page?

I've just had an email from mutant_matt saying that he is being redirected after about a minute of looking at any scoobynet page to another site.
It seems to be tied in with the adserver code at the bottom of each page, but if DEFINITELY not malicious or intended to do this in anyway.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
If so, could you contact me and let me know what software you have running / what browser version, etc anything else you consider pertinent.
Best regards
Simon

Well I've fixed it (kind of) by using my firewall to block the adbureau.net URL. I'll see on Wednesday when I'm back at work if it does it there....
Si, you have mail.
Ta,
Matt.

Well, yes actually - but in my case I get moved into the Muppet Forum?? this must be a re-direct too is it??
I am told that if you have porno pages up aswell as Scoobynet then it opens loads of new pages on its own accord (I reckon thats Mutants problem)

Gary, that's it....try this....go to the General Page and see if the "globe" stops spinning. If it doesn't once the page "looks" like it's finished loading - wait about 1 minute and then see if it tries to divert you to the URL you've mentioned. It should then come up with a Page Not Found type error.
This is what is happening to me anyway (it also diverts me to this URL on any page after about 1 min which is bloody annoying...
)
Matt
P.S. Just had a thought - due to my firewall, the page that I get diverted to is failing - if I didn't have this problem it would probably display a new IE window with just the ad in question in it...

I figured it is something to do with my firewall 'cos I don't have a problem at work or if I dial up the 'net on my laptop....I just have to leave the firewall rule turned on for adbureau and then it's OK but that's not really the fix - however, I'll live with that.
Sounds like I might not be the only one after all though???
