Suspicious browser redirects

[opethdisciple]

This morning/afternoon, Im quite suspicious about some of the behaviours of my pc.

I've had 3 redirects to dodgy sites in the space of 1 hour.

Computer is clean! I've scanned it and it's cleaned, fully patched up etc...

I was browsing the gigabyte website looking at drivers, then a separate Japanese bride website loaded, I was on the nvidia site and fake update your Firefox page loaded, and I was just on the bbc website left it ideal for a min and came back to a 'update your java' fake page.

I’m fairly* confident my pc is clean, but what could be causing these redirections?

(I scaned it using MSE)

In the end I believe it's the page I am visiting, as the same thing happens at work.

I believe newsnow has some random redirections... (unless its the gigabyte site causing the problem)

It's not very consistent tho.

This has disappeared for me now. Haven’t seen it for a while. It's the websites not your computer dude.

I’m as certain as the next man that my PC is malware free.

There is a note on the newsnow website that says:

We're looking into reports that the 'Java update' malware ad is back. N.B. NewsNow does not issue Java updates so please avoid opening any downloaded .exe file.
