Has this forum been hacked?

    It has happened a couple of times already, that sometimes when I enter the forum... it redirects me to: http://www.forumlegal.net/
    It looks kind of weird.... in a strange language and everything.
    Has the forum maybe been hacked or anything? It happened like 3 times. And, yes, I'm sure I typed the address right.... it seems to be like it for a while, and when I check back later, it's fixed but then it happens again. It happened for the third time like 5 minutes ago.

    I don't think this forum has been hacked...

    You may have spyware, run your antivirus and download spybot search and destroy, and scan your PC!

    Not Turkish by any chance?
    Cue spooky music and conspiracy theories!

    Edit: Actually, I believe it is Turkish!

    I am not crazy am I.... I'm sure there is other people who have the same problem, but they can't come online because of it.... because I always struggle for hours before I get onto the forums.

    And no, I don't have spyware on my pc.

    Definitely looks like a Spyware issue for me. Make sure your computer is clean, by installing some protection (always use a good antivirus, and a good antispyware package)

    When you formatted your PC, did you put any AV / Firewall on before you went online? It doesn't take long to get infected - not saying that's necessarilly the case though.

    I haven't had any problems with DP either, sorry.

    Your school's PC probably has spyware/adware. Tell your school's techie and he'll take care of it.

    I know you don't think so, but I think your computer and your school's computer is infected.
