Post Re: Virus infection in this forum?

I do not understand what is going on, however a few observations. I run Chrome on my android and yes, I get redirects to advert web sites. However, when I run Opera on my Android device there are no redirects. The difference between Chrome and Opera is the absence of ad blocking in Chrome.

On my PC I run adblocking in Chrome and I am not redirected to other web sites.

Not being satisfied, I ran Malwarebytes and then followed with Hitman Pro. Hitman Pro found a conduit malware app. Otherwise my PC machines were clean ecxept for cookie trackers and PUPs.

Two ways I can think of getting infected: downloading scenarios and maps from the forum or the adverts.

In the past, I would delete tmp files in my appdata/local/temp folder as a routine practice.
