Strange and not nice

Most times when I click on a link from either forum I get directed to an extreme rape site, which for me is most unpleasant. It's been happening for about a week now. It doesn't happen on all links but about 70% of them.

Does this happen to anybody else and is there a way I can stop it?

TIA

There's some evil fucking stuff on the internet, that's for sure.

There's also some excellent free programs which will remove the wee applications that send you to these nasty places. Search on Google for spyware/adware removal ... that'll do the trick.

have a google search for a download called ad-aware. It did the trick for me when every other pop up was sex related; don't get any now.

Bill is correct. I have Adaware and also Spybot which you can download from PC Worlds site. Spybot finds more spyware than adaware.

There were some posts a while ago saying that these programs can lead to an increase in spam email. I am not convinced as there are always chinese whispers and rumours on the net.
