Yea, now they're not re-appearing anymore. Thanks for all the help with that. Now we just have to worry about the China TV spam site redirect...
i was having same problems too. i got the adblock and firefox. havent seen an ad since.

Wish I could help with the China TV redirect. Never had that happen to me so don't know much about it unfortunately.

There are ads here?
Not be sarcastic, but I've always used adblock plus before the site was sold so I haven't seen a thing nor have I been redirected or been given any spyware.
Makes me wonder why ad revenue is so sought after.

I suspect a lot of people will be joining that "other" site if this keeps happening. Sucks cuz this was and still can be a pretty good site.
all my tabs just got redirected there AGAIN... and I just won a free laptop...
This site is definitely out of hand.

You definitely have Spyware on your computer that's causing the redirects. I suggest MalwareBytes, that's what I use.

Dude, I don't think it is the site. Several posters have already described what they have done to combat the issue - with success - so it isn't the site, but maybe something on your end.
Have you tried any of the recommendations?

Dang man I feel for you, I don't get it that bad I only get it every few times... maybe if they don't see this thread we need to individually send them comments/complaints.
I don't want people to leave the site but I myself would be considering it if it got as bad for me as it is for you. If they can fix this they can keep the Finheaven community together.
its definitely the site.. it happend to me at home and at work on different computers only when I am logged in here... If I am on facebook, or yahoo, or whatever, I dont get redirect issues

Use the AdBlock Plus for Firefox or AdBlock Pro for IE. Then download a spyware remover like MalwareBytes and run a virus scan. That should fix your problem.
dude.. you dont even know.. I got 2 bad viruses AT WORK from finheaven.. Its just blatant stupidity that I keep coming back

I've seen malwarebytes recommended by several people so I'll give this a try, but could it really be our individual computers if we are all being redirected to the same China TV site, and only from visiting here?
