I can't go on the landlordzone forum without a redirect taking me to 'trends.gb.net', whoever the hell they are.


Anyone else affected?

    For anyone trying this, before opening the URL. I would suggest using incognito/stealth mode on your browser after double checking your Anti-virus is up-to-date and running.

    Me too. There are back ways in through links on the forum facebook page.

    Seems an odd browser hack, but it was just after a Safari update.

    No problems, using latest Firefox on W10P.


    PS:
