Just visited the forum and when I'm on the main page I keep getting a warning from my internet security saying a phishing site (http://lemode-mgz.com/...) is trying to access my information (internet security mentioned bank card details etc.).

When it comes up my browser gives me the option to "divert back to safety" and it just reloads the forums. The phishing occurs even if I don't click any links, just have the forums open.

Not sure if this is something to do with my internet or BK but it only occurs when I am in the forums and only started today. 

Thought it would be best to let someone know - Bear

*EDIT* and apologies, didn't know if it was best to post here or message Angel/Nightingale directly

Thank you for reporting.

The problem comes from Google Ads. Their team is already aware about this issue and works on it. We took down the ads until they fix it. Here's a discussion thread on Google Support forums:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh so it wasnt just me! I was running virus scans constantly trying to find the sneaky thing. Very good to know, thank you for posting this instead of a private message to one of them.
