Welcome to BleepingComputer, a free community where people like yourself come together to discuss and learn how to use their computers. Using the site is easy and fun. As a guest, you can browse and view the various discussions in the forums, but can not create a new topic or reply to an existing one unless you are logged in. Other benefits of registering an account are subscribing to topics and forums, creating a blog, and having no ads shown anywhere on the site.
Certain forums appear to be vulnerable to hacking whereby first time users who arrive via a search engine are redirected to an ad site. vBulletin forums are the favourite target apparently and the cause appears to be a search engine optimization plugin which has been compromised.
