I use the Internet a lot but by no way any good with computers.
Breitling Source Forum seems to crash a lot, this does not happen on my computer with any other w.site, and when it comes back some words are highlighted in green. when you pass the mouse pointer over them it pops up a link for Breitling, Rolex Etc replica w.site!! Pictures below.
Any one else have this and what is going on? Is it my computer? and if so why does it only happen on B.S.F. Any ideas......
Regards..

Strange - doesn't happen on my computer. You must have a specific virus or trojan. Have you run an anti-virus scan???

It's been discussed countless times before........

The ads are controlled by Google, not by the site. All you have to do is PM admin and he will get them excluded from the Google links. The problem is there are new ones popping up all the time so it becomes whack-a-mole.

I'm also going to delete the screenshots from the OP, let's not give them any more coverage.

Edit - looking at the screenshots you did a search and then ended up at BreitlingSource from there - it's the referring site that is providing those in this case. If you go straight to the URL - http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/ then it won't happen.

While I've certainly seen the ads on the sides before, I've never seen those pop-ads attaching themselves as depicted in Breanach's post.

They only happen/pop up when I refresh it after BSF crashes. I refresh to get back to BSF...

Didn't see the screenshot. Are you using Internet Explorer? I use Firefox/AdBlock+ and I've never seen a Google ad on this or any other board. :D

Stating the obvious, if you've not already done so, run Malwarebytes, CCleaner etc.
