This never used to happen to me, but now, about half the time I click on any thread in the forum, or even try to go to the forum itself, I get redirected to some site called "PerfectNav." Wtf, mates?

It ain't us. Check your computer for adware and such.

Download ad-aware (http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10214379.html?tag=lst-0-2) and run a scan. Next time a popup window comes up asking if you want to install something, click no.

The same problem has been occuring with me. Download windows just pop-up out of no-where and can keep popping up forever and direct you to other sites. From my research, the only thing that has made it stop for us is uninstalling the system, erasing it, then reinstalling it. Or you could uninstall everything you've received recently.

(Don't choose any random pop-up blocker, some bring up more pop-ups that they are affiliated to. Try MSN Pop-Up Blocker [on MSN Browser with MSN9 or can be downloaded at www.msn.com searching for pop-up blocker should give you the best results]).

Your computer is infested with adware. Ad-aware will find it all and delete it.

Yeah, ad-aware is pretty effective.
