Basilmarket, one of the sites I considered to be safe is changing. Over the course of the past few days Basil has redirected me to China Sex Culture and a site that tried to make me download a virus in the form of an antivirus. This is happening only on Basil, and it is starting to happen more frequently. Unless I have a virus that specifically targets Basil, which is highly unlikely, I don't know how this is happening. Any ideas what's going on?

Other people are getting popups and such that try to get them to download anti-viruses too. I'm not sure why.

Maybe Mr.Basil sold out and is advertising? I think we might have annoyed him with our begging and annoying-ness

Either way, I don't know how to report it to him since it instantly redirects me with out any options. And those sites are literally dangerous to my computer.

Also, I just got redirected to some site with a "RIP Michael Jackson" title.

I've never gotten pop ups, let alone been redirected to naughty sites. Maybe it's your browser?

I've been redirected to that while looking for an animated clock. >_> It lead to a virus.

This seems like it's getting outta hand. ICantKs, your hosts file is normal right? (asking you because you seem more likely to know how to find it)
