I've been getting several reports of a spam redirect when users access my forum. They seem to be redirected to the following URL

http://localgiftspanel.com/uk/survey/indext3b1.php - http://localgiftspanel.com/uk/survey/indext3b1.php

I've looked it up on google and it appears to be affecting quite a few forums in recent weeks.

For info, I run adsense and am on version:

Edition: Premium Edition Brand-Free (Web Wiz Hosted Solution)
Running Version: 10.03
Database Backend: SQLServer

Has anyone had any similar experience? And could it be coming from Adsense or has my forum been hacked?

It's a real worry.

I see that you are using a hosted solution. Please create a support Ticket in your Client Area account and include the URL to the page that this is happening on so that are able to fully investigate the issue.

At the same time you can also request that our Developers update your forum to the latest 10.12 version which includes support for StopForumSpam as well as a Spam Cleaner Tool which can help reduce and clearup any spam issues on your forum.

I have been doing some research and there is allot of chat about this issue. It does appear that the problem is caused by rouge adverts on certain ad networks.

However, please still contact support with more details as would like to investigate this more fully.
